Underrated doesn't come any better defined than this

"Love In Reverse certainly deserved more than what they got. While wearing their influences proudly and unashamedly on their sleeves, they managed to tell you who they listened to while blowing you away with a very distinct, strong and intelligent personality. Their first full-length album was certainly more "classic rock" inspired, and it's obvious that they were trying something a little different here. But even though they were leaning more towards Depeche Mode and NIN here than Black Sabbath, they still produced some of the most hair-raising and personal music I've heard in years. Shame that radio stations by and large had no interest in them, I think they could have done very well. Best tracks: Vast Garden, The Night The Witch Came Home, Filthiest Person Alive, Wheels. Although their music is dark and depressing, never for one minute do you believe that they would just lie down. This music is alive with raw emotion and honesty."
