"Always found this to be a bit overrated. The first track is by far the best. It all comes across as kind of a bit lo fi.

"There existed an addiction to blood has fantastic flow and really builds on its atmosphere. The sound design is really interesting particular on the background noise based "Run For Your Life:. Unfortunately what really prevents the album from succeeding is the hollowness of the beats. There comes..." [+] Reply

"One of the best albums in argentine rock history. A must-listen nowadays..." Reply
"No Peart yet, but that doesn't keep this from being a kickass album. The musical elements of what would become the worlds greatest hard rock/prog band are already evident, even if the songwriting isn't quite there yet." Reply
