Reception
Upon release of their first single, Crosses the band received positive reviews. Emma Guido of the website MindEqualsBown wrote "the band’s chance to step away from metalcore generalities and shine with their individual skills and talents, which they have already begun to prove with their first single, Crosses.".[2] Regarding their full album Guido wrote, "Incomplete Me has its highs and lows, but when it all comes down to it, change is for the better in this case. For All Those Sleeping crush the competition when it comes to the classic metalcore structure, but from what this record brings to the table, it’s hinting that this band has a lot more to explore with their talents." [3] Another reviewer for the website New- Transcendence gave a more mixed review "I love the energy and emotion behind it, but some of the songs are hit or miss in their delivery. By no means does that make the album bad, but it certainly takes away from the overall feel of the album."
