"Go Damn!! Another great, solid album from Unearth! I dont know how they do it. This album has only been out for two days, but all the little kiddies hiding behind the message boards are already hating on this masterpiece.
Unearth have never claimed to be anything more than a hardcore/metalcore band. If they dont wanna evolve or sell out like eighteen visions and avenged sevenfold did, than that's their perogative, and i say, more power to them.
Most of these haters focus on the fact that while this album is a lot more angier and brutal then their previous, "The Oncoming Storm", they complain that there are more breakdowns and less solos. SO WHAT? Breakdowns are what make hardcore great, and if you wanna listen to solos, then go dust off your old Pantera Cd's, and leave bands like unearth alone. They just try to cater to their faithful without selling out. Is that such a crime?"
Unearth's best yet?

"This could be Unearth's best album to date. At the very least, it is far better than The Oncoming Storm as a whole. There's not much of anything new here being done but the songwriting and production far exceeds that of any of their previous efforts. Where bands like As I Lay Dying and All That Remains have fallen to the wayside of the clustered metalcore genre, Unearth still stands pretty tall in my book. Highlight tracks include "So It Goes," "Sanctity Of Brothers," and "March Of The Mutes.""
