AllMusic2017afafNeil Z. Yeung2017"They've been a different band since 2003's breakthrough Sing the Sorrow and haven't looked back since, morphing from youthful hardcore to dramatic goth to this, a punk-influenced take on new wave and post-punk ... There's certainly enough here to prove that post-Nitro AFI are a better and stronger group, unafraid to continue pushing their sound with each release.".Læs anmeldelse
