I'm felling more and more in love with this album. It's not like everything else made today in their genre, but still, straight out punkcore!

My first listen to the cd and i made it to effigy and now listening to the intro to worms will feed. This album kicks the shit out of me. Its Awesome. This coming from a thrash metal fan.

Bane= harcecore thrash punk
converge= punk metalcore this is sweet

This album is pure aggression, pure speed, and pure gold! Their best album to date in my opinion.

Brilliant album, with quite a lot of variety too. The title track is monstrous.

God daaaaaaaaaaaaamn...I should stop stereotyping bands in this genre...

Damn, insane amount of guests on this album. Ultimately what convinced me to check it out:

Sean Martin (ex-Hatebreed, Cage) - lead guitar, backing vocals on "Reap What You Sow"
George Hirsch (Blacklisted) - backing vocals on "Axe to Fall"
Steve Brodsky (Cave In) - lead guitar on "Effigy"
Adam McGrath (Cave In) - guitars on "Effigy"
John-Robert Connors (Cave In, Doomriders) - drums on "Effigy" and "Wretched World"
Ulf Cederlund (Disfear, ex-Entombed) - lead guitar, backing vocals on "Wishing Well"
Tim "Trivikrama Dasa" Cohen (108) - lead guitar on "Damages"
John Pettibone (Undertow, Himsa) - backing vocals on "Cutter"
Steve Von Till (Neurosis) - lead vocals on "Cruel Bloom"
Aimee Argote (Des Ark) - backing vocals on "Cruel Bloom"
"The Rodeo" - backing vocals on "Cruel Bloom"
Chris Taylor (Pygmy Lush, ex-Pg. 99) - backing vocals on "Cruel Bloom"
Mookie Singerman (Genghis Tron) - lead vocals, keyboard on "Wretched World"
Hamilton Jordan (Genghis Tron) - guitars on "Wretched World"
Michael Sochynsky (Genghis Tron) - keyboard on "Wretched World"
Brad Fickeisen (The Red Chord) - drums on "Wretched World"

They are pulling an ayreon it seems

This album is fucking massive... The odd thing is that my favorite songs are the last two which are slow and have close to nothing to do with the rest of the album hahahhah.
Gotta love the melancholy behind Wretched World.

I can't repeat enough how awesome this album is. But then again, I could say that for pretty much any album post-Jane Doe. But these riffs...they are ridonk.

This album is another masterpiece from fucking Converge. These guys can't seem to write anything bad.

"Dark Horse" is one of the band's catchiest songs, and that's saying something.

It's have just become my fave converge album.
