Rolling Stone (3/14/02, p.70) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...These Texas screamers have built a castle atop their notorious [audio] wreckage with their third album: forbidding and imposing on the outside, grand and luxurious within. Trail of Dead still play as if they get a bonus for every mike they blow out..." Entertainment Weekly (3/8/02, p.74) - "...Hardcore punk outbursts alternate with art-rock feedback flightd and dreamy bots of melody that somehow fuse into a coherent, often spectacular, album..." - Rating: A- Q (2/02, p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...There is a sense of looking back [here]. The more structured melodies echo the melancholic brief of '90s grunge..." Alternative Press (3/02, p.72) - 7 out of 10 - "...the band's most obviously emo album to date..." CMJ (12/30/02, p.11) - Ranked #7 on CMJ's "Top 10 of 2002" - "...Runs the gamut from gut-constricting noise...to hum-in-your-head-for-days numbers that hone in on melody rather than brute force..." Mojo (Publisher) (3/02, p.114) - "...Invigorating....Business as usual: chaotic, highbrow, and indebted to Sonic Youth..." NME (Magazine) (3/2/02, p.28) - 8 out of 10 - "...[They] sound as if they were born to a life of unfettered noise....[The album] manages the neat trick of sounding simultaneously untutored and highly focused..."
