    In less than five minutes it's clear the group has a sad edge and sensitivity lacking from its cartoonishly arrogant peers.

    It turns out that "Jerk It Out" is just the tip of the iceberg for these savvy Arctic rockers. [Aug/Sep 2005, p.130]

    Every song is designed to be played loud and sung along with even louder.

    Wedged into Tigers' delicate array of Byrdsian pop, "Jerk It Out" will either feel like the album's solitary moment of ecstasy (couch potatoes, we're talking about you!) or an annoying distraction in the midst of a solidly assembled set.
  8. Splendid

    The remaining songs are uniformly well crafted, but they aren't necessarily going to please the people who come looking for more of the old "Jerk It Out" magic.
  9. Prefix Magazine
    70
    Paper Tigers proves the Caesars are capable of releasing more than one memorable track.

    I am probably the only person on Earth that loves this album as much as that, but it grows on me. The more I listen to it, the more I love I am probably the only person on Earth that loves this album as much as that, but it grows on me. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. I have had this album for over than a year now and everytime I listen to it I love it more and more. The best song is definitely The Winter Song, it makes me sad evrytime, especially since winter is coming now in my part of the world. Every song has its own identity, and they all rock. A solid ten because I love this album, really. It will stay in my top ten favorite albus of all time in my heart, that's for sure.… Full Review »

    while there were songs on this album that would be considered filler, for the most part this album has much depth and a good catchy retro rock sound
