“The Callous Daoboys are still a lot, but they’ve added something fresh to their gonzo arsenal: the ability to stop and look around before moving on to the next shiny thing.”
The Guardian (4/5)
"The Callous Daoboys want to challenge you – and they’re laughing in the face of convention as they do it. They’ll turn your brain upside-down and shake it like a piggy bank while letting off party streamers at the same time, such is the effect of their angular yet playful mathcore that doesn’t merely flirt with other genres as it does wrestle with them." - Kerrang! (4/5)
"The Daoboys have crafted something that moves at the speed of thought, an album so densely packed with ideas it practically demands multiple listens just to catch your breath."
Dork (4/5)
"It’s also a fearless, adventurous, and ultimately brilliant success in continuing to push their artistic boundaries." - Distorted Sound (10/10)
Metal Hammer (8/10) - Boolin Tunes (9/10) - Out Of rage (10/10) - Metal Epidemic (5/5)
