    Memphis May Fire are stepping it up with every release.

    Bolstered further by very solid production, clever use of effects, and strong clean vocals, The Hollow is quite simply one of the best metalcore albums in a long time.
  3. If you're looking for a solid heavy record to give a spin, give The Hollow a chance.

    There may not dispense with metalcore's regular musical motifs, then, yet the ire throughout is genuine enough that you can feel flecks of venom melting vocalist Matty Mullins' microphone. [4 Jun 2011, p.53]

    Ultimately, though, the tracks and Memphis May Fire themselves are the sum of their parts and little more; like many young bands, they haven't learned yet that writing a bunch of parts isn't the same thing as writing a song.

    Unfortunately, the songs still suffer from the same downfalls as their previous material; the album lives in the safe middle ground between Shadows Fall and Underoath. [May 2011, p.96]
