Reviews of Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright are showing up all over the place.
Links and excerpts can be found below:
Sputnik Music : “Billy Howerdels solo project, Ashes Divide, is a good step in the right direction and brings back a powerful feeling to alternative rock. It is something that fans of A Perfect Circle and Tool would enjoy.”
Rock and Roll Ghost : “Though not all of it succeeds, Howerdel manages to make something rewarding to listen to and it’s fair to suggest that future ASHES dIVIDE albums will rise to the occasion.”
All Music : “By relegating his more powerful pieces to the back of Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright in favor of more inconsistent opening tracks, Howerdel makes the entire album feel somewhat shallow and emotionally static. Instead of exploring new territory, he seems content in revisiting old successes.”
The Rock Blogger : “While Ashes Divide may not be a revolutionary effort, it certainly is a beautiful one, as Howerdel effectively lives up to heightened expectations.”
GuitarBassMan : “Overall, “Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright” is a good record, I just don’t know if its something I will personally keep listening to for a long time. Time will tell I guess.”
Lonely Reviewer : “Keep Telling Myself has a consistent stream of musical sadness that runs through the 45-minute album length, with each song sounding like the score to a mini-film.”
The East Carolinian : “The surreal atmosphere that is created through the various tones and textures on the album make it brutally heart wrenching, yet beautifully human.”
