Reviews

"Frontman Dave Mustaine's knack of writing memorable riffs and lasting melodies (which has deserted him of late) seems to be back."

"It was a victorious return for a songwriter and band who continue to write and perform literate and melodically ornate songs of the highest order."

"This album feels like a band trying on clothes from their older sibling's cupboard."

"The Waiting Room is easily the equal of their finest work."

"Garden and San Diego benefit from the rickety instrumentation and frayed harmonies, but for the most part it gets tired."

It Lies Within are about seven years late to the party and missed the memo.
