. Subtle is not a watchword here. Those looking for patient buildups and intricately structured harmonies to stroke their beards to will find themselves disappointed. Instead,
is an album that's almost unapologetically blunt, painting a portrait of a mosh pit in big broad strokes. And that's really what it boils down to. This is an album that's designed to fuel the fire until the only option left is catharsis, making for an album that's sure to destroy the kids in the pit, but isn't going to be your first choice for something to kick back and unwind with. ~ Gregory Heaney
