Critical reception

edit

AllMusic wrote that "their formula works brilliantly on this ten-track CD, with Chris Leo's grueling spoken vocals clearly paving the way for the evocative rock the rest of the band contributes."[2] Vulture.com described "Nanzen Kills a Cat" as "a near-perfect encapsulation" of the emo genre.[7]
