"Stavesacre is one of the best rock bands on the planet, combining melody, power, and emotion, and excelling in musicianship and lyricism. This is probably one of the best debut albums I've ever heard, ranking just under Weezer's blue album. Taking notes from bands like Quicksand, Far, and Helmet, Stavesacre creates accessible post hardcore rock. However, they perfectly execute the sound that the afforementioned innovators were trying to reach, and it only took them one album to do it! Every song on here is excellent. There's the soaring melody and chill-inducing lyrics of "At The Moment". "Loader" is driving and aggressive, with a great hook to boot. "Stars and Clouds" is a ten minute opus that throws in a little of a prog rock feel to an already diverse album. A highly recommended album for musical innovation, lyrical inspiration, and spiritual reflection."

All-Star band

"Being a old Crucified fan, i use to often wonder if Mark Saloman would make a come back, and he did. This is a outstanding band. With Mark Saloman (formely of the Crucified)one vocals , Big Jeff Bellow (formely with The Crucified and Chatterbox) on guitar, Dirk Lemmenes (formely with Focused) on bass, and Jeremy Moffet (formely with the blamed) on drums, this really is a All-Star band. Musically it's awesome, especally the vocals, and lyrically it's great, especally "At the moment" which is a worship band, this is great CD to add to your collection. If you ever get the oppurtunity to meet Mark Saloman, he is one the nicest, humblest guys you'll ever met, in my opinion he is the godfather of Christian punk/hardcore."

Has to be the best band

"okay, first of all stavesacre has to be the best band. i listen to other music like blindside, project 86, and other hardcore/punk but stavesacre is the one that i listen to when i'm feeling really emotional. they are one of the bands that you can never get sick of. this cd is , well i can't say the best of their 3 because they all rock, but is a very good one. threshold,at the moment, burning clean, and stars and clouds are really good. the rest are all awesome too. stavesacre never fails to amaze me with each album that comes out. i can't wait till the ones to come."
