"look if you have any interest in metal in general this album with please you. Tears Have No Name is by far the stand-out track but the rest is equally superior to your common metal band. they have raw talent and orginallity they put to good work on this album. The vocals don't just growl, he has his melodic moments with is a good change of pace, seeing how metal seems to follow In Flames down that road. Overall 5/5, worth every cent."

This is what black metal sounds like in outer space.

"Imagine you're stuck in a spaceship on the bottom of the ocean of some hostile alien world run by horny robots, and you're very angry, morose, solemn, alone, and fidgety all the time. This is the kind of music you would make. Assuming you'd make music. You might just take up knitting instead, for all I know. The songwriting's monotonous at times, emitting that dreaded Every Track Sounds the Same odor. Well, almost. "Tears Have No Name" is one of the best songs I've ever heard...and throughout the album there's some very inventive keyboard work not like anything I've heard in death/black/doom metal before. They've definitely got potential."

...And Oceans Flat Out RAWK!

"The futuristic vibe they get on this album is outstanding. Intelligence is Sexy is a great song, so is Tears Have No Name and Espirit De Corps is outstanding. Every other song is very solid. The vocals have this vibe that no other band creates, the vocals are nearly alien in nature. If you like metal songs that get into a groove and keep it buy this album. They are kind of, in a weird way, an actualized Voivod for the new century."
