Entertainment Weekly
They wisely dispense with trendy hip-hop trimmings and just kick it old-school headbanger style, offering strangulated yowls, gut-punching bass lines, and ominous guitar riffs.

Q Magazine
The impeccable riffs and uncompromising rhythms are perfectly balanced by Dave Williams' fashionably angst-full lyrics.

AllMusic
While Drowning Pool may not be the next musical Beethoven, they are a welcome breath of fresh air in the midst of all the so-called "hardcore" that is on the airwaves today.
