"Alesana's music is a livewire; a storm of pulsing emotion courses through every note on Frail Wings."---Chord Magazine
"On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax is possibly my post-hardcore album of 2006. It's hard for a band to pull off screaming/growling and mix it in with soothing vocals. Alesana can pull it off full force."---SkylinePress.com
"Mutlti-layered guitars that run from slow rolling waves to fill in tsunami cashes, combine with scream-sing vocals makes for a journey with lots of up and downs, much like the travels of life."--- Zero Magazine
"Alesana has its feet planted firmly in the hard-core/screamo world, but mixes it up with enough pop hooks and gorgeous harmonies."--- North County Times
"The complexity and intensity of these songs suggests Frank Zappa." "Intelligence, fury, chops, and musicianship. Alesana is well on its way."---Drum Magazine
