Reception

Lili Jean Berry from The Music gave the album 4/5 and said "Overall this record is a huge sonic step up for the band. Every track slaps super hard. There is no chill moments, it' s just smacking you with bangers from start to finish. Old fans and yet to be made fan's will be talking about this one for a while." [6]

Aliya Chaudhry from Kerrang! gave the album 4/5 and said "From start to finish, F.E.A.R. shocks and thrills" adding "It's an album that captures the mental strain of the past two years as the lyrics navigate trying to keep it together in an increasingly chaotic and challenging world. Stand Atlantic deftly harness it all into a cohesive album." [5]

Elliot Grimmie form Noizze gave the album 9/10 saying "F.E.A.R. is a bombastic, proud bundle of perfect chaos. Every moment feels like it could have been both meticulously planned, or thrown in last minute for the hell of it; it sounds incredible from the beginning and until to the very end." [9]
