Rock'n'roll used to be about greatness, about escape and heroes. Once, you could get lost in an album, entangled in its world. It's been a long time since that has been the case. Danger Days...will change that.[13 Nov 2010, p.50]

Silliness and fun are very much the order of the day here so, if you want some depth to your music you'll be found wanting. [23 Oct 2010, p.51]

All the usual COF ingredients--the abrasive vocals, the dexterous buzzsaw riffage, the furiously prop propulsive drumming--are present and correct, but here they're channeled into more streamlined songs while the more melodic elements are often pushed to the fore. [23 Oct 2010, p.50]
