3.5 great | Trey STAFF | January 13th 23 | I think this happens to every band that slowly transitions their sound away from their initial release. Each album moves further away from what the longtime fans (and, usually, the most vocal fans too) are used to so the band tries to make a concession by integrating the old with the new. The result is usually a ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ kind of vibe and that is what we have here. Not as slick and catchy as their previous album because they tried to re-intigrate some of the darker elements back in — mission accomplished, but it’s not as good as any of the previous stuff. Then why is it number five? It’s The Birthday Massacre and their misstep would be another band’s masterpiece.

2.5 average | ChuppaC | November 29th 20 | Normally TBM has their formula down: got goth, got electricity, got twisted and terrific pop. Not this time. I kind of liked "In This Moment" but found the rest of the album trite and uninteresting.

4.0 excellent | humpinpumpkin | November 4th 14 | While from a critique's perspective this may not be one of their best records, I enjoyed this CD quite a bit, even more so than Pins and Needles for sure. Maybe it packed less of punch and had less content than P&N but I found myself far more immersed into its soundscapes. Every layer, every note, and every sound seemed to drift into its own plane. A solid 4 for me!
