AllMusic called it "a hard rock sanctuary," and said that it "not only doesn't feel tired or stale, but is a monster of an album that makes a pretty solid case for being some of Alter Bridge's strongest and most dynamic work to date."
I'll expect a 200 word review on my desk by 9:30 pm this evening.
And now I am off to try and put both babies to bed by myself for the first time

The Guardian called it "as epic as prime Led Zep and as thunderous as peak-form Sabbath."
I'm not making this up.

I love when shit gets real and its not my fault. Also for the record my first masturbation experience was with Angie Dickinson. I wasn't expecting stuff to come out.

I'm personally insulted that you guys like this album so much. You are questioning my taste and intelligence by constantly talking about how great it is.

ArtistDirect has really, actually called them "everything 21st century rock music should be."
So now we know what we should be shooting for.
