"Wow. I loved the song Tears the first time I heard it in concert in Philly (home of knobhead) I heard the Knobhead remix premier at the show and waited with baited breath for the single. I loved Within, and Heaven's Gaze is one of my favorite songs, and the acoustic version is great. But my favorite is Jabberwocky. Annabelle Lee is wonderful and they continue the spoken word tradition with yet another masterpiece. I even convinced my parents, that though it's not their style, the band definately has talent!!!"

Can't go wrong with the Cruxshadows

"I love this new single!!
1) New songs are always a plus! Tears, Within, and Jabberwocky are all beautiful memorable songs (well, Jabberwocky is spoken, but just as entrancing.) I noticed that indeed CXS seem to have gone more industrial and faster but it's just as great as their older stuff.
2) I love the remixes because each one emphasizes a different track in the song; the ever delicious vocals of Rogue, the flawless violin playing of Rachel (brings back the middle eastern flavor found on Mystery), and so on.
3) Thought you could have enough versions of Heaven's Gaze? Think again! This is an acoustic version and terribly gorgeous."

Wonderfull & a lot of extra stuff

"Tears the Single is even after the Wishfire Release a good buy - lots of good extras on it."Tears" is surely one of their best songs ever.The Apoptygma Berzerk Remix is more spherical and electronic - Apoptygma-tic for sure. Good one.Then the biggest plus of this single starts - "Within". A great song, which showed even before the new album that they are experimenting and changing a little and still sound like themselves. This song is only on this Single. Very dancable, a little more aggressiv, very energetic. Thumbs up!The Robbie Tronco/Knobhead Remix is more electronic, more technoid - not bad, but not my favorite style."Jabberwocky" - you love it, or you love it not. I love the spoken passages and I'm happy that this is on the Cd."Tears", Fictional Remix - very electronic with some interessting new sounds - and this one is keeping the magic of the song too, esp. Rogue's voice.And the second big plus of this Single is the "acoustic tears edit" of "Heaven's Gaze". Only on this Single available. It's great - it's like heaven. very clear violine and voice. Listen and dream.A live video of tears is on this cd too, taken in Philadelphia.Recommendation: Buy it - together with Wishfire if you don't have it too - it's a bargain considering what you get on this cd.das Darke"
