"A brutal tribute to prog rock, fueled by jazz-influenced instrumentation"
"...There is some insane string playing as Viers voice easily walks the tightrope of calmed melody to someone teetering on the brink of insanity..."
"...There is so much possibility in The Illness. They manage to take so many styles and make it their own..."
"...The Illness can root around every metal cliche that's ever been passed out and whip up something novel and interesting..."
"...This effective mix of progressive and metal sensibilities is where The Illness succeed over many, and is often the album's greatest appeal..."
"...One song will begin with an intense, metal influenced set of riffs at breakneck speed before coming to a full stop and entering into a jazz progression..."
"...The strongest ardor comes in the shape of the vocalist, Josh Viers. The Illness have their own Mike Patton..."
"...How the bleep these guys are not signed I do not know as they can blow some of their major league counterparts out of the water..."
"...The Illness is about to barrage eardrums with their balls-out, guitar-mashing Great Wall of Sound..."
"...The band is tight and beyond just a rock metal band. They bring it to the stage with power, amazing talent and hardcore aggression..."
