    The group may be following a blueprint, but they believe they're following their own course, and that conviction is convincing.

    The Pretty Reckless don’t do a great deal to prove the cynics wrong here. More frustratingly, they are undoubtedly capable of much better.

    This New York band's brash second album rages with the upbeat, beat-wise humor that hard rock has suppressed ever since grunge.

    I don't understand the critics these days. This is definitely a well produced album. Commercial yes, not revolutionary probably, but very wellI don't understand the critics these days. This is definitely a well produced album. Commercial yes, not revolutionary probably, but very well performed. The songs are all very interesting, and diverse. And Taylor Momsen has an amazing voice.
