In 2010, vocalist Craig B stated that he has:[6]
"a particular fondness for Sleep and Release because it has the heaviest song we ever did, "Wood", and maybe the most personal, "A Winter's Discord". [...] We tried to make it as dynamic as we possibly could and it turned out to be quite an intense and layered album, especially with all the segues. It doesn't really let you rest and take anything in until it's all over. I'm incredibly proud of it but I'm not surprised we didn't bother the charts. It's not an easy listen.
