Overview
The first few tracks are in the same vein as the band's Posthumous (EP) material, mixing metal with hardcore in equal measures, before moving into more intricate arrangements with more metal elements. The metal material culminates with "Black Duct Tape" which is verging on black metal, before moving back to hardcore with "Red Devil". The closing track proper – before the silence and hidden track – "September Song" slows the pace down slightly and is perhaps a precursor for the material to come on their next album, Each Breath Haunted. Throughout, Joey Southside's vocals are harsher than they were on the debut EP. They are more in keeping with metalcore band vocal styles, as opposed to the "classic" hardcore vocals before – all this adding fuel to the fire of which genre this band actually belongs in.
The general consensus among fans was that this was not a huge step forward for the band and the production was somewhat understated, but it still had the promise that would be delivered on their next album.
