    Wow, so now emo has decided it wants to be prog? Punk really is dead.

    When I first listened to this album I was seriously shocked and dissapointed. Their style has changed dramatically. I listened to them for their unuque emo sound but now I don't know what happened to that.

    Could hardly be any better. They aimed for the sky, and as far as modern punk goes, they not only reached it but punched a hole in it.

    I love bands that are willing to expand their horizons... I believe they have evolved from their (quite good I must say) debut album, without giving a sense of complete disassociation from one album to another... kudos to these guys!

    This album is a definitive breakthrough for MR; it completely sets them apart from the other punk bands dominating the scene today. The producing on this album is incredible - beyond anything I expected from this band. If only other bands would take the risk and set themselves apart as well...

    A welcome change, but not that dramatic, and definitely not progressive. They haven't so much reinvented themselves, but they aren't rehashing the same crap out there as every other emo band. This album is melancholic, and reminds me of Katatonia at times. Their new influences are apparent, whatever they are. They blend in nicely with everything the band already knows.

New fans will probably love it, emo snobs (sadly they do exist) will hate it.… Expand

    A moody, intense, dramatic, and orchestrated second full-length tour de force.

    For Matchbook Romance, Voices is adventurous. [Mar 2006, p.122]

    Without goth glamour or Fall Out Boy self-flagellation, Voices gets mired in a modern-rock middle. [Mar 2006, p.113]
