Dirk: "An up-tempo thrasher with killer riffs, epic solos and a catchy chorus: in short, 100% pure SOILWORK!"

Dirk: "Crushing yet melodic, this track perfectly embodies the album's introspective atmosphere."
04. Antidotes In Passing
Dirk: "Melancholy abounds in this atmospheric piece."

Dirk: "Another catchy, heavy track with a timeless chorus."
07. Loyal Shadow
Dirk: "This beautiful instrumental honors a fallen friend."
08. Rise Above The Sentiment

02. Memories Confined
Strid: "An epic song with Sven's signature."
