"With songs ranging in subject matter from the Blizzard of ’77 ('Crisis') to disenfranchised workers ('Boiled Frogs'), the album embodied a much darker theme than previous Alexisonfire recordings, which the popular quintet attributed to returning home from traveling around the world with a fresh perspective. The gravity of Crisis is underscored by its cover art, which features Erno Rossi’s haunting photographs of the Niagara region during the Blizzard of ’77, including an image of a victim with frostbitten hands. The title track itself contains multiple lyrical references to the storm, including the repeated refrain, 'one nine seven seven'. The album also marked a much more 'rhythmically liberal' process in the studio, with AOF stripping everything down to write and record an album that captured the essence of the band’s live sound, without looping, overdubs, or layered production." - Dine Alone Records
