Critic reviews
Frank Troyan of Rock Hard magazine called the album a mix of “ jazz-rock and hard metalcore ” and compares it with the work of bands like Sonic Syndicate , My Chemical Romance , Killswitch Engage , and Billy Talent . [8] Alexey Eremenko from Allmusic, on the contrary, believes that the album is something in common between the Sevendust and Dark Tranquility groups. He writes that the album’s expectations are fully satisfied: powerful and catchy melodies in combination with a groovy rhythm. In his opinion, the album sounds very monotonous, but at the same time very energetic.
