Now listen to these nice people saying nice things about us: “Anthemic…we’re talking national anthems, families rallying around hand-sewn pieces of tapestry, statutory holidays, 21-gun salutes at barbeques, time-and-a-half if you have to get out of bed sorta shit” – Decibel “Is this perhaps the dawning of new wave of American metal?…Ruled by Reason sure should be at the forefront of that movement…one of the more interesting ‘modern’-sounding metal albums I’ve heard coming from the US in recent years. If these guys keep this up, I can see them snatching away LAMB OF GOD’s crown in the coming years…" – Halifax Collect webzine Progressive Metal for people who sincerely believe in talking animals.
