"The song is a marriage of early punk rock with heavy metal melodicism, striking a balance similar to the early years of Iron Maiden."
"The difference between this new single and previous singles showcases a band that is maximizing the space and range of a consciously limited palette."
"It manages to execute both the creativity under constraint of punk with the expansive creativity of fantasy without sacrificing the key elements of either."
