| I kinda knew what I was gonna rate this before I heard it. Now that I have, and even though a couple tracks are a little weak, I can honestly say this album just about lived up to my high expectations. Highly recommended. I love what this band is doing. |

| The ratio of EPs to LPs in the emotional hardcore genre has got to be something like 4:1. So naturally I get a little bit excited when a LP from a band I know is coming out. In my opinion, Empty Handed absolutely nailed this. The vocals and instruments have all improved greatly. |

| I have no idea what to think of this album. I mean, the post-rock parts are fantastic, but at other times there is just so much chaos and so much going on between the instruments and the indecipherable distant vocals that, overall, it's unlike any other album I can think of. |
