reception
The album received mostly positive reviews. Christoph Höhl from the music magazine SLAM sums up: "Courageous guitars, solid song structure that is carried perfectly, but not only by the voice, and all of this performed with great skill." Georg Lommen von der Westzeit recognizes "breathtaking melodies" and sees the band being led by "an unbelievable feeling for harmony". Stephan Wolf from Sonic Seducer attests the band's ability "to bring their consistently focused bread and butter songs to finals that show the way from being brittle to happiness." Helmut Blecher from the record shop tips points out that the band "gave the often very old-fashioned alternative rock a rejuvenation" and that the Hessians with the "distinctive voice of singer Miro Kania are well on the way to getting into the German rock scene [...] to make a name.
