    If you come to rock music for pure release, to celebrate the body, to forget your day job, Death By Sexy is just what you’re looking for.

    Innuendo set to power chords is only supposed to be funny once... but this impressively stupid side-project follow-up... has enough new sex puns and recycled Stones hooks to defy the odds. [14 Apr 2006, p.87]

    Its gloriously, thoroughly trashy fun makes it a guilt-free fling.
  5. Pitchfork

    Death by Sexy rubs out the line between novelty and earnestness, reminding us that music doesn't have to be ironic to have a sense of humor.

    Essential? Not really. Fun as hell? Definitely.

    The album is not particularly deep or insightful, but it does provide danceable and entertaining tunes that don't bore and that don't pretend to be something that they're not. [#13, p.85]

    So, a grown-up EODM album, hardly serious, but certainly more complete than the half-cooked sketches that used to pass for their songs.

    Hughes and his crew blow through the kind of drums 'n' acoustic booty jams that would make R.L. Burnside do ankle-grabs in his grave. [Jun 2006, p.188]

    Feels like rock that Beavis would play if Homme were his pal.
  14. New Musical Express (NME)

    It's an unyielding piss-up of tattooed garage riffs, petrol-drenched blues and Marlboro-chuffing growlers. [1 Jul 2006, p.35]
