3.0 goodPapaBerr | July 19th 10

A great debut on any level. Portrays a raw attempt at what eventually became The Acacia Strain's signature sound.
Brutal lyrics with low-tuned, cleverly timed, meaty breakdowns. I still have no idea why a raven is like a writing desk
but neither did Poe. The conclusion of Sloth Loves Chunk makes my list of greatest Album Movie Quotes ever.

3.0 goodSaidir | October 9th 08

An unfortunately overlooked album. Eclipsed by their later works, espically 2008's 'Continent', '...And Life Is Very Long' stands as a sturdy stepping stone for The Acacia Strain. This is riddled with both faults and brief sparks of brilliance. Doppleganger holds host to one of this albums distinguished acoustic sections.

3.5 greatkevbogz | February 2nd 23

tons of charismatic fat here. could be trimmed but eh, that's the charm considering the 2002
release date. great launching point for a band who arguably started the modern deathcore sound

Bump

3.0 goodBlackTemplarofAutism | September 1st 22

So cool to hear the beginning formation of the downtempo blueprint with dissonant slams and cool grooves from amongst the As Blood Runs Black-esque melodeathcore riffs and mathcore inspired interjections.

Bump

3.0 goodheck | March 2nd 20

back when The Acacia Strain fit more squarely into the Massachusetts metalcore scene rather than the tough guy deathcore they're known for today. honestly an underrated album.

4.0 excellentgodbuster | December 25th 14

It's my first listening to ...And Life Is Very Long. This may be their best work IMO. It also has a mathcore vibe i think.

3.0 goodextranoisy65 | August 26th 11

This record showed they had something to offer, and some really great tracks. But didn't have enough great tracks to make this a great album, but instead showed that their next album would probably be great.
