Will Rivitz: The farther from my mid-teens I get, the lower my tolerance for paint-by-numbers Octane-flavored rawk becomes. I know two things about my current line in the sand: 1) it is still far more generous than probably becomes me to admit, and 2) this nevertheless falls short.

Alfred Soto: Shouting “how does it feel?” over power chords is a never-fail moment for me.

Iris Xie: Why is Diamante attempting rock music if she doesn’t bring anything of herself to it? I demand to see her annotated bibliography for this song.

Katherine St Asaph: I could be happy if all music, forever, was Cherri Bomb covering Amelia Brightman’s “Twisted Angel.”

Iain Mew: The pop hooks and rock moves don’t combine particularly well, but that isn’t even the problem. The problem is that each is weak enough that they can be outflanked on both sides at once by songs to promote video games, never mind the dozens of acts in Japan dedicated to doing this properly.
