"I think that Dead Poetics sophmore release is an outstanding album with great lyrics, that if you listen have an positive message. Cannot wait for there 3 rd album to come out in 2006. If you ever get a chance to see them live, GO! Dusty from Beloved and John from Monday in London play in DP now and they are awesome additions to an already strong band of believers in Brandon and Jesse Sprinkle(Poor Old Lu)"

"Perfect vocals/screams, Perfect sound, and definitely perfect lyrics!! Overall a sophmore album that rocks just as much as their first cd. Check em out and be amazed!"

"I had some high hopes for this record, I really liked the single and the snippets of other songs I heard, and thought this could be, maybe not genius, but a really well done, fun punk album. What I got was something that's a little less than the sum of its parts. It's not bad, it just doesn't do anything to really make you like it. It's competent musically and decent for the genre, it's just lacking that ingredient of greatness.



"Taste the Red Hands" is a little different style from the rest of the songs and a decent opening. That's a word that comes to mind a lot when listening to New Medicines, "decent". The title track is also the single and it's some enjoyable hardcore, but it's lost some of its luster over time. "Glass In the Trees" is the most affecting song on the album, it's not amazing musically but the lyrics are a little touching.



The rest of the songs are more average rock songs. Pretty much every track has at least one enjoyable part, but sometimes you have to wonder if Dead Poetic is really in it for the music when what they do just isn't that original or fun to listen to. It's serviceable, but it's not very good."
