Blood in My Eyes

Critical reception[edit]

The song has received mostly positive feedback from critics. Under The Gun was very positive of the song, saying "Venomous, rasping, and brutal, it’s the incandescent anger to offset the forlorn sense of loss that has gone before. The vocals are stunning and the music fittingly forceful in support, with some exquisite harmonies added during the verses to balance things out a little." Diamond in the Rock called the song "the best on the album", saying that it "kicks things back into high gear with yet another epic guitar/drum intro. The tempo slows for the verses as the battle drums build up the tension that is released in a slower, fist-pumping chorus. This chorus is followed by more rapid-fire guitar riffs and drumming while Jason McCaslin gets a chance to show his skills on the bass during the jaw-dropping bridge, one of the most transcendent moments on the album. Whibley’s vocals fluctuate perfectly to reflect the intensity of his instrumental ensemble." However, Punknews was negative of the song, saying "'Blood in My Eyes' could have been an awesome song, but there is just so much going on within it that it doesn't really know what direction to take and ends up falling apart."
