“…one of the best metal records of the decade.” — ARTISTdirect

“Anselmo gives what is possibly the heaviest material he’s ever put out.” — Alarm Magazine

“If you wanna hear one of the angriest vocalists in heavy metal do what he does best and rage like a beast over bad ass, technical metal, you might need to pack a change of underwear and some heavy painkillers, because this album will make both come in handy big time.” — New Noise
