"This week’s reigning Album Of The Week is All This Will Be, the crashing, expressionist debut from the New York screamo trio Closer. It’s a raw, ferocious album that calls back to the classic era of late-’90s and early-’00s post-hardcore, but it also feels very much by its own thing, anchored by frontwoman Ryann Slauson’s poetic lyrics and elemental howl." - Tim Breihan, Stereogum
"...All This Will Be has all the trappings of a late ‘90s screamo record, with a modern melodic sensibility...the focal point of the band is drummer / vocalist Ryann Slauson, whose shrill shrieks, poetic-yet-touching lyrics, and distinctly staccato drumming make them one of the most compelling musicians of the skramz movement." - Kerrang!
"[All This Will Be is] an album of uncompromising artistic endeavour that pushes through the emotional ceiling time and again, and for that it deserves to be lauded." - Rob Mair, TrackSeven.net
