Deathrattle sing for me

"Deathrattle Sing For Me at its best is some of the best Norma Jean we've heard and I don't use that praise lightly. That this comes in what is essentially an ongoing period of change that hasn't ended, with a nearly entirely new roster of bandmates, should add some weight to the statement. It won't please the purists so much and there are parts of the album that might have benefited from something a bit rawer and more savage, but if this is the direction their evolution is taking then we're in for more treats like this".

"Norma Jean er garant for god, potent, højkvalitets metalcore ... Langt hen af vejen lykkes det for bandet, at skabe en helstøbt plade, der byder på en lytteoplevelse, der sandsynligvis holder i længere tid, end mange af de metalcore-udgivelser der er udkommet i år".

"Norma Jean har med Deathrattle Sing for Me begået en gedigen metalcoreplade med både tempo og eftertanke og balance mellem det sikre og det eksperimenterende. En plade, der vinder for hver gennemlytning, men som i hvert fald jeg nok aldrig kommer til rigtigt at tage ind. Der sker en masse, men det er ikke rigtigt nok - eller også er det for meget? En lille time i mestendels hæsblæsende selskab med metalcoreveteranerne er bestemt ikke dårligt givet ud. Jeg bliver bare ikke blæst omkuld, og så er der altså masser af andre metalcorebands at tage af".

"If Norma Jean is evolving into a style akin to Author & Punisher, Deathrattle... is a magnificent first step, and if the band was worried about its relevance, fret not. They don't have to rest on their metalcore laurels in order to continue producing noteworthy material. And even when Norma Jean dips into unchartered territory, they do so with a confidence and a seniority that allows them to try something different... and that something different, Deathrattle..., is a categorical success".
