"...D-beat anthems that are sad yet huge..." 8/10 - Decibel

"...less proggy than Mastodon and less brooding than Baroness, but still as intense as both." - Alternative Press

"...annihilation you can almost hum." 4/5 - Revolver

"...a terrific middle ground between High on Fire, Mastodon, and Disfear. Punk song structures with driving tempos, great metallic guitar work, and stellar vocal parts..." - Lambgoat

"...one of the year's best albums, and probably the best album that Translation Loss has ever released." - Cerebralmetalhead.com

"...less proggy than Mastodon and less brooding than Baroness, but still as intense as both. We're headbanging!" - Alternative Press

"I'm talking about D-beat anthems that are sad yet huge - funerals, revenge killings, and the wars that follow... Let's hope lightning strikes again." 8/10 - Decibel

"...sounds exhilarating, like a weight-relieved Mastodon." 8/10 - Terrorizer

"...whatever the music's path, the results are the same -- annihilation you can almost hum." 4/5 -Revolver

"Dexterous and occasionally quite complex music, it's also got its share of anthemic choruses, pit-friendly breakdowns..." - Signal To Noise

"...a terrific middle ground between High on Fire, Mastodon, and Disfear. Punk song structures with driving tempos, great metallic guitar work, and stellar vocal parts make this record hard to pass up." -Lambgoat.com
