If you never saw them in ‘07 when they were performing as Sex with an Angel, it's a great introduction to the band's storytelling style and the wistful bombast Joel Bravo's lyricism inspires in the musicians. If you had seen them in a previous incarnation, you'd hear this new recording's desperate edges in the loud guitar wash all the more sharply. - Impose Magazine
The Albertans build songs from the ground up, adding layer upon layer of rich orchestration while never muddling the sound or being over the top. They're all about clean instruments and spot-on pop sensibility. Noise punk is so last week; you need to hear these guys now. - The L Mag
