"The combination of everything from Middle Eastern melodies to nervous Depeche Mode-styled keyboards demonstrates a sense of wide-ranging inspiration. The unsettled rush of "Panic Wrought," the combination of stabbing bass and woozy, bansheelike synth wails on 'Stained', and 'Another Void' and its mix of chopped-up guitar melodies and keening strings over a roiling beat are all stellar examples.' - Allmusic.com

Android Lust's second album is like the first vision of the talented Shikhee, still a fearsomely strong singer with a great eye for vivid lyrical portrayals of emotional extremes. Her ear for rough, rhythm-heavy industrial/electronic compositions hasn't left either, as the crisp, distorted initial riff of "Lover Thine" makes clear from the start, and over Devour, Rise and Take Flight's near hour-long length she aims for full body control, from dancing feet to audio overload. - Allmusic.com
