This is sort of my reintroduction to Zao, after leaving off when they released 'Awake?' I am still getting to know the album, but it is intense, and I do enjoy it quite a lot. Autumn Amelia Sinclaire
Respect to Zao for letting their love and passion for music surpass the harshness of their critics back in the day for their sound, this is a band that deserves the overlook of their personal beliefs even if you don’t particularly hold them yourself. Josh H.
This is the album that got me into Zao. I had heard Splinter, Blood, and Liberate, but they didn't really do it for me (although I did enjoy the listen). Cue the first track on this album. Within the first 30 seconds I knew I had to have it. Bought the cd within the day. This album is a whole 'nother beast.
Oh, and the clean vocals? SPOT ON. TheSpyHunter
