"Songs are touched with the bitterness and reluctance of a hope that's hard won and struggled for. The sludgy tones of "True Zero" scream out with Sabbath-like metal riffs and vocals high in the mix, with singer Liam Cormier pondering regret, alienation, and self-acceptance mixed with righteous anger. Even when the band embraces more formulaic metal and predictable playing, themes of loss and grieving still come through loud and clear".
