"Έντεκα τραγούδια, φασαριόζικα με την καλή έννοια, καλή αγγλική προφορά και βρωμερές κιθάρες που μου θυμίζουν το Ιgnition των Offsping" - Crackhitler.com
"Τα ντραμς είναι καταπληκτικά δίνοντας τον ρυθμό με ζωντάνια και εκρηκτική διάθεση. Κομμένα και ραμμένα να αναδεικνύουν το κομμάτι. Το μπάσο εξαιρετικό, συνοδεύει στην ίδια κατεύθυνση δίνοντας την απαραίτητη ρυθμική στήριξη όπου χρειάζεται ή μελωδία όπου ταιριάζει. Οι κιθάρες παιχνιδίζουν, πειραματίζονται, προσφέροντας ένα πάζλ πραγματικά άκρως γοητευτικό και προσωπικό. Όταν δε, πανηγυρίζουν με απλές πανκ-ροκ μελωδίες με κερδίζουν σε βαθμό κακουργήματος." - Soundmag
