Rolling Stone (p.68) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "On cuts like 'Eraser,' which take cues from BLEACH-era Nirvana, Randall whips out gnarly riffs while Spunt bashes on his drums, singing about living paycheck to paycheck and trying to escape his lot in life." Rolling Stone (p.96) - Ranked #50 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[A] thrilling string of two- and three-minute guitar rants..."
