    This raucous collection of three-minute knee-tremblers, however, is as close as it gets [to a live show]. Swilling whiskey and spitting gravel, over-driven and over here, this is aural Prozac for the 21st century.

    Despite the clear-cut influences, Airbourne sound like they just want to rock and have fun in the process of making music to play live. Like Motorhead, this is a band that should be seen in all its headbangin', hair raisin' glory to be fully appreciated.

    A record like this stands or falls by the guitar riffs, and there's no gainsaying the ludicrous, joyful power of the crashing Gibson SGs at work here.

    Using neanderthalic rhymes that MC Hammer would be proud of, the lyrics are in your face and exclusively concern rock ‘n’ roll, girls, drinking and partying.

    An album that never hits the sweet spot its predecessor did, and never catches stride. This album suffers from the sophomore slump that many musicians and bands experience. But, for Airbourne, it's much worse than a slump. The main problem is that the album drags its feet and feels extremely repetitive. The guitar work in their debut album was tightly constructed and executed very well. On this album, the total opposite happened. None of the riffs, solos, or songs feel original. They all feel recycled, rehashed, and reused. This leads to a dissapointing listening experience for anyone unlucky enough to give this album a listen. One of, if not the worst album I have listened to this decade; 'No Guts. No Glory' follows its name and receives no praise for treading popular territory.… Expand

    The first album coasted on pure energy of dumb rock and roll I-like-AC/DC fun. This one is just dumb and it would take some serious punching up in all departments just to make it not insulting to the ears and the matter between.… Expand
