Ben Rickaby, allotting the album four stars at
HM Magazine, writes, "After reconnecting with fans on the City Rockfest Tour last year, they rekindled the spark, hit the studio and came out with the spectacular
The Other Side of Darkness...With
The Other Side of Darkness, Decyfer Down has done one of the hardest things for a band: evolve their sound while still maintaining a firm grasp of what’s so great about their earlier music." Awarding the album four stars at New Release Today, Jonathan J. Francesco states, "This is pure, unapologetic rock, and it succeeds at delivering exactly what it sets out to." Chris Major, giving the album four and a half stars from The Christian Beat, writes, "Expressing our pain, our struggle, His victory, and His faithfulness, The Other Side of Darkness is intense, energetic, and moving...Once again, Decyfer Down has created a masterpiece of a collection." Rating the album a 71 out of 100 for Jesus Wired, Christopher "Topher P." Parks says, "
The Other Side of Darkness is a decent effort and among Decyfer Down's better records, and yet it still doesn't feel like a top-notch release. Even at its best moments, there's nothing that sets
The Other Side of Darkness apart from any other recent rock album, and that is its biggest weakness." Abby Baracskai, bestowing a four star rating upon the album from Today's Christian Entertainment, writes, "
The Other Side of Darkness should bring joy to any fan of
Christian Rock music and any music lover who enjoys well-crafted lyrics." ==Track listing==
