    I knew of this band's existence for about a year when I heard one of their songs (can't remember which) while scouring through YouTube. I thought it was rather average. I didn't pay much attention until Lights Out came out, at which point I researched the band a bit. I was interested why they were so popular.

    I still don't get it. All the songs here are the same mediocre crappy song.

    There’s heft and muscle to these songs (or, yes, “song”) and the album is a good taster for what these guys must sound like live.

    At it's best, it's a thing of beauty. But if the duo's choruses set the gold standard, it's the riffs that are worth their weight in platinum. [23 Aug 2014, p.54]
