"Blackgaze er simpelthen ikke energisk nok til at rumme Svalbard, og man ærgres, hver gang man hører bandet give los og blæse alverdens røvhul bagefter med hardcorerytmer og Cherrys skrigende raseri ... Problemet er, at post-elementet bliver alt for fremherskende. Som en flænge i en varmluftballon trækker den luften ud af pladen, og den daler stadig lavere, som den skrider frem, for at ende lige over jordoverfladen i albumafslutteren 'Pearlescent', der slutter i Sigur Rós-agtig æter".

"This isn't your standard metal record; this album means something, and while focusing on the negatives of society, it offers a message of hope - something severely lacking right now".

"Album of the week" -"Between the raw power of Svalbard's music and the weighty content of their lyrics, this is an undeniably challenging listen. It's also, however, utterly triumphant in the way its sonics snag your heart as its message engages your brain. Such is the contagious passion in evidence throughout, they actively disprove their own title; with a band as intelligent, creative and bold as Svalbard, it really isn't hard to have hope".
