"This band has never gotten the credit they deserve. This album is no different. One of the best technical-progressive-thrash outfits ever, Anacrusis certainly set standards with their music. Screams and Whispers ranks among the best metal albums of the nineties. This album had a fantastic blend of great musicianship,melody, and aggressive attitude. A very intelligent edge is present as well. Without a doubt worthy of your hard earned cash, if you're into metal of such high caliber. Enjoy!"
Amazing technical metal!

"Anacrusis probably hasn't gotten the attention they deserve for their prominent role in the turn-of-the-decade technical speed/thrash/death movement (along with other bands like Mekong Delta, Believer, Cynic, Tourniquet, Atheist, etc.). "Screams and Whispers" is one of the catchiest of the technical metal albums out there; it lacks the grey uniformity of their prior works as well. Anacrusis' vocals are as always interesting, alternating between a cool mid-range vocal and a high-pitched squeal. All in all, a fine way for them to end their career. It's a shame, however, that they packed up shop: they might have done even better things had they continued.High 4 rating."
Prog rock at it's finest
