Have always loved Spartan and the music they put out. Wanted to write a review on this one, since it highlights why they're so great! I had ordered the new Criteria record as well as the repress of When We Break. When the record came in the mail, it was actually packaged with En Garde, which I already had a copy of. I reached out to John to see what the options were and he was absolutely fantastic. Worked to get the correct record out immediately and coordinated a return, no questions asked. Was nice for it to be just a little hiccup, and not an ordeal! You can get a sense for the love, care, and passion for the music they put out just based on the trail of releases, but it's also apparent in the way they treat people and conduct business. Have been, and will forever be, a staunch supporter. Wish I could give more stars!

One of the best albums of the year! So glad that Criteria and Spartan are putting out the music my soul needs these days. Seize is a phenomenal album. And my new T Shirt looks SICK!
