3.5 great | Cravinov13 | July 13th 06 | This is something that has left me very confused. How could an album like this be consider anything below maybe a 3.5? It has great guitar riffs, strong bass lines, great drumming and blast beats, and overall not so bad vocals. The atmosphere of the whole album has a very unique feel aswell. It is in my opinion that anyone who truly dislikes this album has not even heard it, or has and was just unable to accept the fact that this band can actually be worth a damn. Regarding my statement long past about this band being death metal was rather dumb and off, but not entirely true. Is it as good as real melodic death metal? Certainly not, but that doesn’t mean the band is bad in anyway.

4.0 excellent | MetalMan97 | January 24th 13 | The first DevilDriver album was a high school attempt of a major label album, because honestly, everyone but Dez just graduated. The rawness was there, but it felt like you listen to it on your grandmother broken vinyl. The music was simplistic and vocals borderline screamo. This album is like sweet relief from their self-titled disaster. Dez has devolved his growl/snarl and no longer has that weird Nu-metal to Groove metal vocal transfer, almost like he was going through puberty for a second time. The instrumentation has much improved, most songs have a complex and soft intro (End of the Line, Hold Back the Day, Driving Down the Darkness, Sin & Sacrifice) then the song hits you like a brick wall. But you like the pain don't you, you sick little ***? Anyway all joking aside this album is great, with a few personal strife's. The album flows great until Pale Horse Apocalypse, the song just loses momentum there. Just Run and Impending Disaster pick up the pace again, and then Bear Witness Unto and Before the Hangman's Noose just get boring for me. The title track at the end is interesting, but doesn't bring the album back to speed with the first six songs. The whole album offers up the best of DevilDriver until Pray for Villains, but none the less a whole hearty Groove metal experience. A good retribution album to ask forgiveness for their first attempt. A solid album, a little boring in the last two-three tracks, but not bad. I suggest you give this album a look.
