"A Tear In The Fabric Of Life’ was the first time that we sat down and wrote with strict intention...So coming back around, figuring out what we should be, and then applying that to a full album was very interesting...We knew we wanted to have a bigger album in scale, and with that in mind, we could expect every single type of Knocked Loose song there is."[1]

The band announced the album and its release of May 10, 2024.[2][3] The lead single, "Blinding Faith", was released on February 27, 2024.[4][5] The second single, "Don't Reach For Me" was released on April 3, 2024.[6] The third single, "Suffocate" featuring Poppy, was released on April 23, 2024.[2][3]

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To received critical acclaim upon release. Ellis Heasley of Distorted Sound Magazine compared it to Slipknot's Iowa "in its complete disregard for what a band with this much hype is supposed to do in this situation...and ultimately stands as further irrefutable proof of a truly generational talent."[9] Manus Hopkins writing for Exclaim! stated that "at only 10 songs, with the longest still falling short of five minutes, You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To doesn't wear out its welcome." But they felt that "Slaughterhouse 2", featuring Chris Motionless, was "slightly underwhelming in the shadow of its predecessor", from Motionless in White's album, Scoring the End of the World.[10] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian called it "an indulgently rich record that keeps revealing more on double-digit listens."[11] According to Luke Morton of Kerrang!, "the heaviness throughout is unrelenting. No acoustic number, no ballad, no concession... this isn’t just their best record yet, it’s one of the best albums of the year."[12]
Stephen Hill of Metal Hammer of praised Drew Fulk's production stating, [his] production gives the record perfect definition while making it sound as loud as a jet plane taking off inside your cranium."[13] Dylan Tuck writing for The Skinny wrote, "You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To takes their staunchly savage sound and dashes it with piercing playfulness and crushing confidence; conjuring a profoundly poisonous record containing some of their most deadly moments to date."[15] Sputnikmusic wrote that "[the] album destroys as much as possible while it’s on...[but] it leaves a little to be desired once it’s over."[16] Wall of Sound called the album "[their] most profound, polished, introspective and emotional works to date."[17]
