"I first saw Reach the Sky opening for the Dropkick Murphys in Southie, and I was pretty impressed by them. I mean, hardcore live is always a great time but Reach the Sky were smarter, sounded clearer, and were just a better hardcore band. Anyhow, about the CD, it is your usual blend of hardcore guitars and what I take to be people jumping at the mic yelling. It's just that the lead singer Ian has a great voice, even melodic at times. So, this record is on Victory which means it is going to be sort of big, but what makes it stand out is the music. And besides, when I bought the album I thought I was buying an emo album or something because of the cover art, which is a nice touch."

Best punk/hardcore record of 1999

"I just recently picked this cd up because of hearing some mp3's and sound clips, however, i thought that the sound clips weren't so great. BUt i happened to come accross at a store for a cheap price. I listened to the whole cd straight through, and i love this cd. From track one to thirteen, it is raw emotion, with melodic punk/hardcore guitars, and vocals. This cd rules, if you like bands like H20, Floorpunch, i definately recommend you pick this cd up."
