"a 12 song full-length that instills the fear of pit-driven beatdowns and unyielding lyrical invectives.....between the bulldozing guitars and quake-worthy percussion, Dead Weight's growling vocalist clobbers bands with no message in their music.....We've Seen Better Days is as heavy as a bank vault and the band's musicianship and topical focus is just as solid. The metallic hardcore sound of years past hasn't sounded this good in quite some time." - pastepunk.com
"with such burly vocals, punishing power chords, and forceful breakdowns within their massive onslaught of crushing metallic hardcore, one might suspect that this is somewhat of a toughguy sort of band or something along those lines, but nothing could be further from the truth.....their lyrical message - while furious and at times blunt - tends to fuse straightforward anger with calls to bring the message back into the music with regards to the hardcore scene, even utilizing occasional socio-political overtones.....I'm definitely digging this shit. I haven't heard but so much of this form of 90's-ish metalcore as of late, so this one certainly hits the spot." - Aversionline.com
