    The Dead C are lifers, then, who are too in control of their own sound to be detained by expectations--of their own music, of rock'n'roll, of their legacy at large. Armed Courage proves the longterm vitality of that sadly rare strategy.

    Armed Courage, while enjoyable, isn't really a record anyone's gotta hear. [Sep 2013, p.50]
