“TFTS members Nick Barlage, Chad McElwee, Amanda McElwee, Oney Michaels, and Jacob smith all pull their own weight and provide metal lovers with four and a half minutes of hard rock bliss. “Blinded” is the epitome of a song that is on point as each member plays their role to precision, blending in with one another brilliantly. With multiple crises happening in the world today, hats off to the band for releasing such a well-crafted banger that matches just about any big budget label release in musicianship and recording quality. Listeners can expect the full record to be top of the line as well.” -Bravado Press

"The featured single “Blinded” reminds me a little of I Prevail. The heavy riffage, particularly noteworthy during the bridge, will get you adding weight to your barbells, before the aggressive, yet melodic vocals break away into some spoken word. An interesting fact about this song is that it was written around the spoken word part and combined with Nick’s vocal hook. “Am I not justified for thoughts inside my own mind?” Take a trip of self analysis with this opening track. This is a deep one!" -NinaBRR

"The buzzing track scintillates with metal trademarks but also simmers cooly with a spoken-work bridge that allows the song to breathe and calmly step out of it’s more traditional framing. “Blinded” seems to hinge on the heavy double-bass action propping up the shrill lead riffage, but there’s plenty of solid stuff keeping the tune grounded, successful, and repeat-worthy."  -V13
