Reception
Kill Your Stereo said that "Polaris are the next big thing", and applauded the technical aspects of the album, saying "The guitar work moves from these moments of groovy, nu-metal bounces (‘The Remedy'), to these mighty fine melodic touches ('In Somnus Veritas'), to these Periphery-esque tech sections (‘Relapse’)".[1]
