Mind-numbing metalcore.

TransformOnline - Music Review

If you like your metal brutal and repetitive and your taste in vocals lies somewhere between Earth Crisis and Cannibal Corpse, you might want to give this album a listen. Once. You’re not likely to want to replay it, though. The Faithless didn’t do a thing for me, and it’s not that these guys aren’t accomplished musicians. I just think they’re crappy songwriters. Although I listened to this through and through, the first few seconds of any random song could easily represent the whole album. Actually, The Faithless barely functions as an "album": no discernable beginning, middle, end, or transitions… and unfortunately, it isn’t even good in an artsy / conceptual way or a “so bad its good” way. Just simply good musicians playing bad songs. Too bad, because I get the feeling there could be something there...

So sorry about this one guys, but I don’t see it going platinum anytime soon.
