    It's the sort of release that metal fans will probably like because it offers plenty of chunk-tastic riffs (that aren't too far off from newer, more polished work from Helmet), but dub fans will probably steer clear from because of it's focus on said heavy-fisted bombast.

    Another Sound Is Dying, despite the title connotation, is indeed giving birth to a stirring new noise. [Apr 2008, p.156]

    Dub Trio are on to something, but they've yet to fully grasp it.
  5. Spin
    50
    There are traces of reverb and chicken-scratch guitar, but the band's drill-press instro-rock lacks thegenre's spacial dislocation and sense of thematic possibility. [Feb 2008, p.92]
  6. PopMatters
    70
    Because of the improvisational feel of the album and speed of recording, the cycle and underlying patterns syncopate and never get boring.

    This album is louder & equally as great as their previous more mellowed out dub sound.
