If You Walk Before You Crawl, You Crawl Before You Die is the third full-length album release by American sludge band Rwake. It was released on July 10, 2004, through At a Loss Records. This album marks the debut of Kiffin on guitars, replacing Chuck Schaaf, who left to form Deadbird.
Reception
AllMusic noted, "With their inventive and unpredictable 2004 album, If You Walk Before You Crawl, You Crawl Before You Die, Arkansas natives Rwake do a fair job of putting their oft-overlooked state on the heavy metal map."
Stereogum remarked about the album, stating it "finds the band venturing even further off the beaten path. Its songs feel diseased, somehow — mired in darkness and choked out by briar thorns and hissing ambient noise."
