leads present in the original version, as well as some flashy solos and

"[A] captivating mix of heartfelt lyrics and heavy melodic guitars…weaved from dexterous sweep arpeggios, powerful vocals" RevolverMag.com
"Stuttering guitars and tasteful keys unravel the group's musical red carpet for – those pipes! Unapologetically placed to the front of the mix, the vocals of Brandon Davis both dazzle and distress, similar in delivery to Mutiny Within's Chris Clancy and Killswitch Engage's Howard Jones." TheNewReview.net
"Getting ten tracks up and down in 40 minutes is an impressive feat, particularly when there is so much material packed into each chunk. No song runs over five minutes –Across the Sun's songwriting certainly is focused - and yet each cut has enough twists and surprises to seem like a ten minute epic." 4/5 Metal Underground
