| Simply a heavier I See Stars. There are a few decent songs like Psycho, Vyvance Trance, and Obliviate. Nothing impressive. Just fun party post-hardcore. |

| This album will not be a 1.5, but it will not be a 5 either. Ahren's vocals are over produced just a little bit and it sounds like a Youngbloods part 2, but with a concept. |

| Not as bad as expected, but still very bad. If the production was better it would be a much easier listen. The clean vox sound bad, bass is absent, guitars get very boring very quickly. |

| They promised a heavier album and we kind of sort of got one. Not the heaviness I was expecting,but there are more breakdowns than Outbreak Of Heartache. They have their first all screaming song. With that being said, there is a little bit more screaming, which has improved with this album. The cleans are about the same as OOH, and just as catchy. FATS produce another cliche metalcore album that is better than most, but dont expect it to be considered for the metalcore album of the year. |
