The low-slung wallop of Dead Poetic's third album will have critics retiring the "screamo" epithet vis-a-vis this band, and may even inspire younger fans to download some Dream Theater or Sepultura. Maintaining the intensity of their previous releases, VICES is also melodic, layered, and steeped in both nu- and old-school-metal sensibilities. Songs like "Animals," which pitches a cavernous, heavily reverbed guitar riff against Brandon Rike's hushed voice, and "Self Destruct & Die," with a hook-y vocal and chiming guitars, display a real effort towards musical growth and variety.

Alternative Press (p.194) - "If Chino Moreno's cameo on 'Paralytic' is any indication, this is the nu Dead Poetic -- and they're here to stay." Kerrang (Magazine) (p.50) - "Dead Poetic's cool hooks take time to have their wicked way, but have their way they certainly do."
