5 out of 5 - "With guitarist Kurt Ballou's naked, live-sounding production downplaying the songs' off-time complexity in favor of exposing their nerve endings....Converge have delivered their most life-affirming album ever.", "With Genius Slipping Into Darkness While Playing with New Textures.", "Incredibly stepping up the frantic bombast, they also give us the haunting acoustic lament 'In Her Shadow'...", "This Is Metalcore Masochism at Its Finest."
