Phil Pirrone (owner of Longhair Illuminati and singer/guitarist/bassist of Casket Salesmen) had this to say about the release, "It's Nate and I doing exactly what we want to do without being compromised even 1%. It's progressive, it's powerful, it's emotional, it's ambient, it's interesting. And to me, it feels like what the world needs right now......Forgive me for saying this about my own music. But I feel like it's out of left field enough, and linear enough to catch everyone's ear, while intriguing people enough to know this is something new and refreshing. In my opinion, popular music right now is about as bad as Glam Rock was, and this record [Sleeping Giants] is, to me, a record that can help change that.
