Reception
[edit]Ray Van Horn, Jr. gave the album a rating of 8 out of 10 for Blabbermouth.net, calling it "a lot of fun".[6]
Metal Hammer / Team Rock named it one of the 10 worst albums of 2017, referring to it "at best, is all a bit dated and trite, and at worst is desperately dunderheaded cack that makes Five Finger Death Punch sound like Devin Townsend."[11]
