Hate to be that guy but aside from a few choice tracks this just goes by in a blur for me.



A really insane, high quality blur, but still a blur. Probably my least favorite Converge aside from Halo and No Heroes. I think as far as their era of Converge goes, Petitioning and Poacher Diaries are better.

incredibly tight track. I am going to be seriously bummed if we don’t even get a single from these guys this year. They said multiple times we’d get a new record but it’s damn near halfway thru September : /

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah I feel like we still might get at least a single or two and an early 2026 release. Also, first four tracks on this are an absolute steamroller, in the running for the craziest 4 track run in their discog

Album Rating: 4.0

I can get down with that.



As much as I think this is one of their weaker records… if some no name band dropped this in 2025 they would be at the top of my list

Album Rating: 3.5

The heights are not as high as on their previous album, even though is probably more consistent overall. "Two Cents" feels totally out of place here.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah ten cents is a song I mostly just skip and continue jamming hard as fuck

Album Rating: 4.0

I think it’s a nice little breather that this record needed but ya worst song here by a mile

Make converge play slayer riffs again

Album Rating: 4.0

I’d be down for that. I actually just jammed Halo the other day and damn is it underrated. That 2.7 avg is a fucking disgrace

Album Rating: 3.5

I agree. It actually makes zero sense for that average to be that low and then Caring & Killing and Unloved and Weeded Out having >3 averages, considering both have songs from that same album and songs released in between the release of Halo and Petitioning.

Album Rating: 4.0

Totally, like I literally put together a Halo playlist from the songs on those albums because Halo isn’t on Spotify lmao

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah halo rules, shallow breathing is such a sick intro

my first exposure to Converge was finding this CD (the original, not the remaster) in a bargain bin for 4 bucks. never was the same after that

That’s so sick.

'CONDUIT' (2). I still have this over a few of their later albums and prefer it to PTES these days too.

...incidentally, I much prefer the other artwork to this version. I know this is the og but I don't like looking at it. And not because it's disturbing but cos the palette is displeasing or something

Album Rating: 4.0

Ya the remaster artwork for this and petitioning are both so much better imo
