    Eternity could easily be a musical score as much as it is a step forward for abrasive punk. [Apr 2017, p.80]

    With Eternity, In Your Arms, Creeper have torn up their own sonic rulebook, giving them licence to roam musically wherever they please. It’s a fresh page in a new story for a band who are really just getting started.

    With Eternity, In Your Arms, Creeper have truly proven themselves masters of the dark arts, as they've managed to create something as genuinely inspired as it is stylistically derivative.

    Every day is Halloween with Creeper, in the very best way.

    The mystery of James Scythe, Room 309, and The Callous Heart that unfolded on the run up to this release acted as a rabbit hole gateway into rock and roll at its most theatrical. Eternity, In Your Arms loses none of that sense of spectacle.

    The switches from retro punk to camp stadium rock are seemless, and Creeper prove themselves worthy heirs to the bombastic rock bands of the past. [May 2017, p.103]

    The songs soar in unison with the band’s grand vision. Those songs are a riot, too.

For a debut it could have been worse. A lot of the album feels a bit derivative with some pop punk and pop rock bands from the 2000s. The MCR influence is very apparent and at one point the front man sounded eerily close to Dexter of the Offspring. Not to mention the production is too clean for my taste. But the band does make up for it with Will Gould being a pretty impressive front man, the instrumentation is very energetic and does reach the theatric horror kitsch the band is clearly pining for (again MCR is a very clear influence on these guys), and the lyrics, whether it is about a narrative or not, are pretty damn interesting and does save the album from being MOR. I can see this album growing on me and even liking this band. Right now I'm a bit lukewarm, but yeah I can see the hype. Wouldn't agree with the critic rating on here but eh.… Full Review »

    Although lyrically wise i don’t really think is that great and the instrumentals are pretty basic, they are sure to have gain a spot with a sound that we weren’t hearing at all lately, so that’s a plus for them.
    They have this story going on with “the Stranger” in the videoclips and their voices seems unique enough to expect something big on their upcoming albums.    … Full Review »
