    EODM thrives on confidence, not exploration, and Heart On finds the pair plenty cocksure.

    The tracks on Heart On don't veer from EoDM's favored subjects of Los Angeles fakery, sex, girls, sexy girls, and how they're gonna get sexy girls. But shit, that doesn't matter because they're sure as hell sticking to what they do best (with their trusty cow-bell, no less): they make you want to rock out and get your sleazy dance-on at some greasy bar with a PBR.
  3. Spin

    QOTSA may be rock at the edge of the abyss, but Heart On vaults right over, taking flight on an updraft of woozy audacity and shuddering riffs.
  4. Dot Music
    70
    Eagles Of Death Metal have crafted a soundtrack to hedonism, a series of paeans to earthly and earthy pleasures and deliciously illicit behaviour. It's enormous fun all right but it's a long way from being a joke.
  5. Boston Globe

    The songs themselves live in the present--and live all over the place.
  6. Alternative Press

    Heart On is on par with the band's previous efforts when it comes to ultra-swarthy innuendos. [Dec 2008, p.146]

    Heart-On, despite its snarling, strutting riffs, feels disappointingly lightweight. [Year End 2008]

    Excellent. Absolutely superb. Their best offering yet. Everything that's great about EoDM is captured on this album and refined to Excellent. Absolutely superb. Their best offering yet. Everything that's great about EoDM is captured on this album and refined to perfection. It's the perfect mix of catchy EoDM tunes you expect with a couple of interesting more complex tracks thrown in. If you're a fan, this is a must have!… Expand

    Oh man, just as much fun as their first two albums, but surprisingly complex.
