Contents

The album was heavily reviewed, with a widespread agreement that the album was of mixed quality. The remixing was viewed as mostly overly aggressive, making too much use of auto-tune, though "Trapped In Your Lies (Neon Genesis Remix)" was specifically indicated as a high quality exception. [2] [4] The covers were considered to be "interesting musically, but disappointing vocally". [4] The sole new song "To Heal" was good viewed as a good call back to the band's earlier music. [3] [1]
