His Name Is Alive: The Eclipse
There is no story; or if there is a story, it isn’t well written. The album plays like a collection of out-takes, some of them quite beautiful but nonetheless without cohesion.

Fred Thomas of Saturday Looks Good to Me creates a city of sound and almost gets lost in the noise. Thankfully, that's kind of the theme.

His Name Is Alive: XMMER
The first of two albums from His Name Is Alive this year is, as usual, very strong, but there is nothing here that makes one yearn for this album over Detrola.

His Name Is Alive: Detrola
If you’re expecting another album similar to Last Night, you are in for a rude awakening. His Name Is Alive offer more electro-pop than anything else here.
