| Opener "Conceptualizing Theories in Motion" is flawless Grade, demonstrating cascading metallic riffs, vile-drenched vocals and the empathic movements that have come to define them. The trend continues throughout Separate The Magnets, while musically and emotionally either lashing out ("Symptoms of Simplifying the Simplistic"), seeking solace ("The Adaptation of Means"), or striking a balance. Separate The Magnets also furthers the evolution of vocalist Kyle Bishop, incorporating more of the trade-off vocal hostility with sung refrains, arguably to best effect on Separate The Magnets. Grade's dramatic mood shifts and aggressive expulsions eventually even out into one cohesive whole, making Separate The Magnets their most effective release. Track Listing:
1. Conceptualizing Theories in Motion
2. Symptoms of Simplifying the Simplistic
3. The Adaptation of Means
4. Life Gets in the Way of Living
5. To Illustrate and Design Parameters
6. The Joy of Stupidity
7. The Tie That Binds
