Living Creatures is a promising debut, if nothing more. Some tracks are absolutely killer, and others are
entirely forgettable. The vocals are curiously used here, but it'd be unfair to deny the charm of the
release. Check it out if you enjoy Dance Gavin Dance and recent A Lot Like Birds.

The spoken lyric parts kind of ruin this for me. Album also flows awkwardly, but there is some interesting instrumentation. Vocals are a mess and they need some serious work. I can see this band improving but this album has almost no memorable tracks for me.

Quite boring and awkward at times. Vocals are below par, even though the cleans sound a lot like Kurt Travis, but he doesn't have the confidence to be a good front-man, most of his singing is in the background scared to show itself. Good choices for featured vocalists (Jonny Craig, Kurt Travis, Tilian Pearson) cause' they obviously need a lot of help.

Worse than A Lot Like Birds, worse than Hail The Sun, worse than Dance Gavin Dance but still way above average. They did not get everything out of the features imo and also they did kind of a fail tracklisting, giving four of the five features away in tracks 7-10 instead of being smart and mixing them more apart from each other. Aside from 'Our Last Night On Earth' and 'Year Of The Light' also lacking real hits for me...dunno. If this would have been a random band, not pushed and hyped that much (e.g. by Will Swan himself) I would not even give them several more spins. A semi-letdown for me in 2013.

Crazy guitar work. Songs actually feel distinct which is rare for albums like these. Amazing guest features. My main gripe is that the harsh vocalist is kinda meh. Always sounds the same. Fortunately the instrumentation is superb!

Quite an amazing debut album. For fans of Dance Gavin Dance, The Safety Fire, Closure in Moscow, The Fall of Troy, and even The Dillinger Escape Plan. Great instrumentals and vocal work.
