Reviews
A Sputnikmusic user rated the album 4 out of 5. As of June 2011[update], user reviews on the site averaged 3.3. The reviewer was impressed with the vocal diversity, pairing male and female lead singers, and rated the band's lineup a supergroup: "All proficient, they leave nothing to be desired with any of their performances." However, the music was considered rather catchy, with choruses that were poppy and too similar.[5]
Personnel
- Elize Ryd - female vocals
- Jake E - clean vocals
- Andreas Solveström - harsh vocals
- Olof Mörck - guitar
- Morten Løwe Sørensen - drums
