Reviews:

We were reviewed in Slug 'n' Lettuce. Slug 'n' Lettuce liked the album:

SAIGON DISTRESS SIGNAL - DARKNESS LP When I hear someone say "Toronto's version of Trag-core", well I'm all ears, cause unlike some who've gotten irritated with constant comparisons or copy style, I for one can not get enough of the dark punk or the apocalyptic punk, or the "trag-core". This starts out awesomely, with a dark heavy essence, an eerie weaving guitar, and a double bass drum, all in a slowish swooing tempo. A perfect introduction for my ears. And to be fair to the band, I don't think this really sounds all that like Tragedy. What they do sound like is a combination of the influences of various Swedish d-beat bands with the modern concoction of heaviness, pummeling beats and weaving guitars. And I for one absolutely LOVE this!! There is even a tree on the cover. (-Chris) *****

We were also reviewed in Maximum Rock 'n' Roll. Presumably they did not like the album. The words "convoluted" and "false metal" were used. Convoluted, maybe. False metal, never.
