Critical reception[]

New Noise Magazine stated that "This latest record poignantly continues the project's longtime fresh and emotionally invigorating energy" and that "the project combines a synthy journey with jarring hard rock riffs".[2]

Jeannie Blue of Cryptic Rock describes the album as "chock full of passionate emotions, eclectic influences, and enough courage to perpetually defy genre within the span of each individual track".[4]

Ian Kenworth of Punktastic states that the work "pushes the electronic sound further still, so that every song feels ambitious and arena-sized, even the interludes" and that "it makes for a bold record and there is a lot to enjoy here".[5]

Scott Raymer of ConcertCrap states that "Amorphous is about defiance, not giving in, taking control and fighting for yourself".[6]

BroadwayWorld describes "Their previous singles including "Seeds" and "Last One Standing" are rebellious opuses, instilling a message of self-belief and empowerment, not just in an industry that has pushed back at the band with numerous challenges, but for their entire fan base in general".[7]
