    Babylon introduces a likable pop sheen to the mix that both elevates and homogenizes the end product.

    AFI bassist Hunter Burgan and My Chemical Romance touring drummer Jarrod Alexander lend their talent making for a textured record that combines Skiba's trademark dark-tiged punk sensibilities with an electronic edge inspired by '80s new wave. [Jun 2012, p.83]

    It is logical, of course, that past work influences some of this record; it's disappointing, though, just how often this resemblance occurs.

    Perhaps a little of the sparkle the absent Alkaline Trio two bring is missing here, yet pleasingly little else is. [12 May 2012, p.54]
