    Not the best Live album, however it containes quality lyrics. And the crisp guitar combined with Kowalczyk's voice just makes is a joy. It has this great spirit

    Cutting edge vocals without splitting your eardrums. Lots of thought went into these songs. Tunes with a hook that you can't get out of your head! Great album

    Ed Kowalczyk and crew burden their sound with angry guitars, pseudoraps and needless swearing torn straight outta the Fred Durst book of lyric writing.

    It doesn't help that Live operate at two speeds: overamped anthems and over-the-top ballads, which render [Kowalczyk's] doubtless heartfelt homilies rather empty. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.125]

    There is a sense on V that Live will stay around long enough to ride into the state-fair sunset. [Oct 2001, p.137]
