Kriston McConnell writes, "Silent Planet have written one of the most brutally honest metalcore albums in years." Lucas Munachen describes, "it's difficult to label ''Everything Was Sound'' as anything short of a masterpiece." Michael Weaver believes, "''Everything Was Sound'' is certainly one of this year's best heavy albums." Scott Fryberger says, "''The Night God Slept'' was an intense metalcore album that shot them straight up into the 'best of Solid State' group. 2016 is looking to be another strong year for the band, with ''Everything Was Sound'' sounding like the next logical step." ==Track listing== {{Track listing | all_writing = Silent Planet | title1 = Inherit the Earth | length1 = 3:48 | title2 = Psychescape | note2 = featuring [Spencer Chamberlain](/source/Spencer_Chamberlain) of [Underoath](/source/Underoath) | length2 = 3:06 | title3 = Dying in Circles | length3 = 2:58 | title4 = Understanding Love as Loss | length4 = 3:26 | title5 = Tout comprendre | length5 = 0:51 | title6 = Panic Room | length6 = 3:59 | title7 = REDIVIDEЯ | length7 = 3:10 | title8 = Nervosa | note8 = featuring [Cory Brandan](/source/Cory_Brandan) of [Norma Jean](/source/Norma_Jean_(band)) | length8 = 3:48 | title9 = C'est tout pardonner | length9 = 2:11 | title10 = Orphan | length10 = 3:47 | title11 = No Place to Breathe | length11 = 2:37 | title12 = First Father | length12 = 4:26 | title13 = Inhabit the Wound | length13 = 3:31 | total_length = 41:44 }} ==Personnel== Credits adapted from [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic).{{cite web|website=[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic)|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/everything-was-sound-mw0002946332/credits|title=Everything Was Sound - Silent Planet - Credits|accessdate=September 18, 2021}} '''Silent Planet''' * Garrett Russell – [unclean vocals](/source/unclean_vocals) * Spencer Keene – guitars, [production](/source/Record_producer) * Mitchell Stark – guitars * Thomas Freckleton – bass, keyboards, clean vocals * Alex Camarena – drums '''Additional musicians''' * [Spencer Chamberlain](/source/Spencer_Chamberlain) of [Underoath](/source/Underoath) – guest vocals on track 2, "Psychescape" * [Cory Brandan](/source/Cory_Brandan) of [Norma Jean](/source/Norma_Jean_(band)) – guest vocals on track 8, "Nervosa" '''Additional personnel''' * [Will Putney](/source/Will_Putney) – production, mastering, mixing * [Brandon Ebel](/source/Brandon_Ebel) – executive production * Randy Leboeuf – engineering * R.D.
