"The lead-off song and single "Overcomplicate" sets expectations perfectly as a bright riff takes you into chugging guitars. While poetically detailing a fading relationship, the song hugs its melodic hook with fuzzy guitars."
"The band builds each song atop an engulfing and vibrating wall of sound, giving the album a consistent sense of movement and sadness, whether the song is a driving rocker or a head-banging slow-burn."
"All the distortion also allows the band's catchy pop hooks and dynamically crisp drums to shine by contrast. This offers respite from the music ever feeling too dirge-like."
