Critical Reception
Karel Smouter of the Tooth & Nail Fan page writes: " I love this album, not in the last place because of the beautiful, inspiring lyrics. It’s amazing that God still uses people like these guys to praise Him through awesome, hard-hitting music."[4] Chris Gramlich of Exclaim! writes "Still, while The Journey So Far is an adequate starting point for this quintet, who's roster includes former Embodyment screamer Josh Ashworth, their next musical endeavour must take them farther than The Journey... if they wish to rise above second tier status. (Solid State)"[5]
Cover Art
The cover art, according to Jarrod Norris of Deadself Records, the picture was him, with a paper bag on his head, Guitarist Kris McCaddon took the picture at Bassist Joel Bailey's house.[6]
