"Reincarnate
is pretty darn
close to the kind of record you’re accustomed to hearing these
days on
commercial rock radio. Recorded at Longview Farm Studios in western
Massachusetts, the rumbling riffs and vocals are reminiscent of popular
hard rockers such as Staind. Guitarist Caleb Renish understands the
importance of memorable chord progressions, while Byers can sing the
hell out of a song without losing sight of the melody. Tunes such as
"The Game" and "Lighthouse" surge with the visceral vibe of Alice In
Chains, while "Empty Eyes" and the closing "The Dreaming Song" are cut
with flourishes of poetic tenderness. All of this should translate
nicely live. And it sounds like the pieces are in place for Torn to
really make things happen." -Bob Gulla, Providence Phoenix
