Awarding the album three stars from HM Magazine, Tony D. Bryant states, "Unholy Anger is hard, fast, and everything the industry needs right now."[2] Ian Webber, rating the album a seven out of ten at Cross Rhythms, says, "The quality of recording is first rate, adding excitement and atmosphere, but the unchanging rhythms, predictable breakdowns and lack of inventive spark hold this back from being a very good release. There is a potential here, but we may have to wait for future recordings for it to reveal itself."[1]
Giving the album three stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver writes, "Unholy Anger isn't bad, but I wouldn't necessarily classify it as 'good' either."[4] Lee Brown, awarding the album four stars by Indie Vision Music, describes, "Those Who Fear bring a nonstop barrage of hardcore laced with bold lyrics and unrelenting conviction. Sonically, they are a potent blend of Living Sacrifice and For Today, with just a touch of In the Midst of Lions. Lyrically, Unholy Anger is an excursion into the depths of theology, yet is highly accessible. It’s easy to see why Facedown was eager to sign TWF".[3]
