"After seeing Relative Ash perform on the Tattoo the Earth tour I couldn't wait to get my hands on the album and it didn't dissapoint. Pure loud music in the continuing trend of new wave Metal bands, with emotion pouring out of vocalist Marcus Harrington, whose voice is unique and unlike any other i've heard. If you are into this new wave of metal bands like Sytem of a Down, Static-X, etc. Definitely buy this album."

"I got this cd about two weeks ago and thought it was pretty good. They sound like the Chino from the Deftones meets 40 Below Summer's music. The lyrics, while graphic, are very well written and not just easy catch phrases for drunken masses to sing along to. The music stays heavy but never seems to repeat itself. My personal favorites are definately "Pout" and "Hymen". Don't be fooled by the titles of the songs, the music is complex and not like a Drowning Pool or Saliva. The only fault in the cd is that I wish the lead singer would sing for longer stretches of time. As is, most songs consist of him either him screaming or at a near whisper. But overall, this beats so much of the "nu metal" thats out right now,..."
A Great Start...

"I first picked this up without any knowlege at all what I was getting myself into, I thought the cover art was "different" so I gave it a try. I was actually surpirsed by this album. I might have expected some mediocre nu-metal type stuff. What I got was a some-what original album that was a mix of Deftones and Soulfly. Enough bullsh... I mean chit-chatting, lets get down to business. "Breath (Tiny Hands)" is by far one of the best songs on the album, along with "Pout". It is sort of nu-metal, so there are very few bludgeoning riffs and about one blastbeat through the whole thing, so, that sort of sucks, but that doesn't mean that the album doesn't deserve 5 stars. I really hope that their sophmore release is just as good as this...-MC"
I liked it better the 1st time when it was called deftones

"I heard about Relative Ash before there cd came out and then saw them a few months ago. I have chilled with the band and they are the coolest in the world i love this cd. It is extremely unique another stage of the rock evolution. Excellent album."
