Converge Are Some Of The Most Fearsome Technicians In Metal, But Unlike Dillinger Escape Plan, Whose Songs Are Like Feats Of 22nd-Century Civic Engineering, They're Unusually Organic. You Fail Me Is All Hardscrabble Local Hardcore In Its Gritty Viscera. Ever Maturing And Honing, Converge Have Maintained A Fairly Consistent Sound Over Their Nearly 15-Year Career, So How Does You Fail Me Differ From Cult Classics Such As Jane Doe And When Forever Comes Crashing? For One, The Band Have Jumped Ship From Equal Vision Records-- A Veritable Subterranean Hardcore Dynasty And Converge's Home For The Better Part Of The Last Half-Decade-- To Quasi-Major Epitaph. You Fail Me Is A More Polished Album, But This Works To Their Advantage: Not Only Have Converge Retained (Even Sharpened) Their Razorblade Cut, They're Now Bolstered By A Brawny Low-End. Jacob Bannon's Vocals Are Mixed Lower Than On Previous Efforts-- A Popular Metal Technique-- And Though His Sautéed Larynx Is Still A Distinctive Part Of The Mix, It Takes On A Comelier, More Elemental Quality.” - Pitchfork
