    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.

    Priapic pub rock of the very highest voltage. [Apr 2010, p.106]

    Although not original at all, ‘No Guts. No Glory’ is another strong, balls-out full-length from the brothers O’Keeffe and co.

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.
