    A few missteps here and there, and the radio spots can be more annoying than funny, but overall this is as good a hard rock as you're going to hear this year, or have heard in years.

    Absolutely superb. Is rare nowadays to hear such enthusiasm, creativity and sheer attitude [that is not purely market driven].

    Compared to the rest of the hard rock garbage out there, this album stands out like a beacon of welcome light.

    This album has the sonic force of Fear of A Black Planet, Nevermind, or Appetite For Destruction. The writhing humanism of Go With The Flow, the darkness of Song For The Deaf, the power of Millionaire... every song has its own identity and the album can still stay cohesive. Put it in the top ten easily. This is rock and roll the way it is meant to be.

    'The Sky Is Fallin' is a beast.... 'God Is In The Radio' has got just such an awesome riff, like the Lord himself hotwired to a Marshall amp.

    While cliches abound... this huge music is delivered with panache. [#9, p.154]

    'Songs For The Deaf' is a triumph, a record forged with fire and sweat in the pits of Valhalla... It is the very essence of Rock.
