"This album is awesome, it just happen to be a Mutemath album, so I'd put it 4th on my Mutemath list (after Odd Soul, Mutemath and Play Dead). But it would be first for a LOT of bands! "Armistice" is an amazing song."  Reply

"There's not a bad song here; in fact there's not even a mediocre song here. But of course I'm biased since this is my favorite band. Anyhow, this isn't *quite* as good as their first album or their third album (Bloodletting), but still right up there. Criminally overlooked and ahead of their time."  Reply

"This is one of the better neo-progressive rock albums I've listened to lately. The songs are immediately accessible and reveal a lot more upon repeated listens.
