"When you talk God there are many entities that achieved that anointment. For some it is Allah, for some Buddha, for some the Father of Jesus, for some a doorknob is the higher power. But when you talk GODSMACK there is ONLY ONE! And that higher power is in rotations...the ability ascend to the top of the chart."
- Kevin Vargas/PD KISS (San Antonio, TX)
"Huge phones out of the box, another stellar track from Godsmack!"
- Jave Patterson/PD KDOT (Reno, NV)
"It's Godsmack at it's finest and loudest - great to hear a band know what makes them great and be able to keep their sound true for their fans."
- Abbie Webber/PD WKRL (Syracuse, NY)
