"I personally think the audio on this album sounds terrific. I listen mostly in my car on my stereo, which is mostly all high end with subs and the whole works. I don't know what the other guy is talking about with poor quality. Everything is very distinct and audible, nothing gets real washed out or muddy sounding. This is an album that you have to be in the state of mind for it because its not about random pointless subjects. The lyrics are the kind of hurt/bitter/angry type, so if you're not sitting on top of the world in your life right now, this album should sit perfectly with you. Good job guys."
Could've been better.....

"whoever eq'd certain parts of this album needs to be slapped. I took out 1 star for poor production, and one for performance. The vocals on the title track where Mike tries to sound like Alex from Atreyu are irritating, just 'cause Scars is way better than Atreyu, they shouldn't be influenced by them. Also, the Caliban-style overproduced clean vocals on a few of the tracks. As far as production goes, The Horror of Realization sounded way, way better. The kick drum's slap it way too high pitched on the album. It's more than likely a sound replaced kick using a trigger, but the kick they chose to use just sucks. The guitars are way, way too bassy to the point that when I listen to the beginning of Nashville through my studio monitors, it crackles all over the place. The rest of the drums sound great, musically this album is about on-par w/ their last. Love these guys to death, just hope their next effort is mixed better......"
