"This CD is the product of madmen. Sane people do not write music like this. I was awestruck the first time i heard this CD. It's hate and love lusting for one another in bed. I am scared to buy the other CD's because no way can they do better than Ink & Dagger. Everything is different now. I think I need to throw away the rules in my head about music and start over. It starts now and with Ink & Dagger. This is the greatest rock and roll record to come out in the last 50 years.What's worse is that I hear that the singer of this band passed away. Why do the truly gifted leave us..."

Swan Song

"Ink & Dagger are arguably the most underrated, greatest unheard band in rock and roll. While a critical overview of their work is much needed, I will attempt to simply convey how amazing this album is. This, the final self-titled work of Ink & Dagger transcends any and all boundaries in punk rock music or rock music or even just music. A blistering assault of riffs packed within riffs, layers of guitars and effects, this album is decades ahead of its time.

Ink & Dagger was mainly composed of Sean McCabe and Don Devore during its existence, and sadly Sean died shortly before this album was released. A tragic end to one of the most original and awe-inspiring voices rock music ever produced."

Most Important

"This posthumous release was absolutley one the most important releases of 2000. As such, it flew relatively low under the majorities' radar. This record really defines the bands' evolution, just as each of their previous releases were giant leaps forward for punk rock. The first time I saw them was on their first tour in '96, in Tulsa. All they had was the Love is Dead 7". I was all over it, spreading the word, infecting the town. Fast forward almost ten years and I'm still recommending a record from the year 2000. Quite a few people were uncomfortable with this release when it came out. Don't let that deter you, you are a warrior on a mission. Get it."
