0.0 | Confucius | June 7th 14 | Are you freakin' kidding me ANOTHER ALBUM? Seriously how can anyone, ANYONE, like this crap. How can this band even wake up every day knowing they are responsible for the worst kind of "music" ever created. I'm so pissed right now. Chelsea Gin or wathever the f*** you're called if you are reading this please STOP MAKING MUSIC. I don't like your breakdowns (which are 85% of the entire album), your drummer is s***, your guitarrists are even worse, the bass, I don't even know if there's bass and I could go on and on and on because I've never been so pissed since I joined this site. I want this band to disappear from the face of the earth along every other s***core band alive.

3.0 good | cloakanddagger | May 30th 14 | Plenty of 'chuggachugga', but its far better 'chuggachugga' than before. The lyrics are pretty
terrible and the vocals can be a bit obnoxious, but this is the first Chelsea Grin album that's
actually a reasonably enjoyable experience to listen to.

0.0 | Necrotica | June 21st 14 | Best of the best? More like sag of the tits. Listening to this album is about as pleasant as submerging your head
in a pool of feces while a lion meatsticks your crack and sinks its claws into your nips. It just shouldn't happen,
man!

5.0 classic | m00nr0ck | June 4th 14 | This album is the ill shit. Exactly what you're looking for if you're a chelsea grin fan. Heavy as fuck. Breakdowns everywhere. Alex hits his old highs. Honestly classic for the deathcore genre. Peace.

4.5 superb | Krytix | May 31st 14 | Maybe I am overrating and maybe i'm obsessed. But, when I heard these guys back in the day when they only have an ep I knew they had potential. His voice has improved alot more from their last album and got nothing but more heavier and catchy. I love these guys. This album is amazing.

3.0 good | Eminor | December 5th 16 | The guitar work of Jason Richardson is phenomenal and the pervasive lyrical theme of the passage of time is significant and personal to me, but the terrible production keeps me from rating this higher.
Bump |
1.5 very poor | NewBallistics | July 1st 16 | Lead singer is so far in denial that he dresses like an even-whiter Mac Miller now.
Bump |
3.0 good | Brett W | September 29th 15 | Riffs too chuggy, lyrics too cheesy and immature, but the overall sound makes me hyped up, so its alright.
Bump |
4.0 excellent | Linx | February 24th 15 | This is Deathcore at its best. The craftsmanship of this album is amazing along with the concept they were going for.

2.0 poor | Alabaster Jones | October 30th 14 | I think that at least some improvement was seen in Chelsea Grin when ex-Born Of Osiris guitarist Jason Richardson joined them on their 2012 EP, Evolve. How much, though, would he help them on this album? Not that much as it turns out. The formula for this album seems to be to play the painfully generic deathcore they're known for, but then adding a piano interlude in the song, or an acoustic part in the beginning. The guitar work is the same chugging, but maybe with a sweep or a melodic break every coupleminutes, lasting about 3-10 seconds each. This continues for an hour. There are more shouted vocals on this record, and less of the screeches Koehler employs, and they generally sound acceptable. The album does however have a bright spot in the form of the last four songs, which show some genuine improvement, and are likely the best songs Chelsea Grin have written. However, this improvement is diluted by the first eleven songs and their unimaginative, long-winded feel. Overall, a step down, but the last four songs on the record give a little hope for the future.

3.0 good | Ghost22446 | September 2nd 14 | I know that a lot of people hate Chelsea Grin, because I never liked this band either. So when Ashes To Ashes came out, I was about to bash this album. Instead, I enjoyed it. Alex improved his vocals and songwriting, and the rest of the band did good job. Not great, but good. So far, this is the best Chelsea Grin album to date.

1.0 awful | DjentyNerdo | September 2nd 14 | Not even kidding, I spent about 20-30ish minutes on a review of this album and scrapped because it's not even worth my time. Short and simple: 0/10 this is muddled and incoherent garbage. I worn you, this will damage your ears.

3.0 good | brokatar | August 21st 14 | Although much better than previous efforts, they still suffer from terrible lyrics and some stale musical arrangements.
Bump |
3.5 great | XxUpinsiderxX | July 6th 14 | Great improvement all around, I would have liked more melodic stuff from Jason but vocals are great, drums are great, and it just feels more tightly produced.

0.0 | tresm87 | July 4th 14 | its basically BOO type guitars and programming thanks to richardson with solid drums and surprisingly
monster improved
deathcore style vocals

3.0 good | Toadstool | June 19th 14 | As far as an album goes, its pretty decent. There's more weak songs than good songs, but the good songs are really nice. Dust To Dust is my favorite.
