[edit] Critical Response

Commenting on the rhythm section [Patrick Keeler (drums) and Jack Lawrence (bass)], Prefix Magazine commented that "their propulsive rhythm single-handedly saves first single 'Salute Your Solution'."[5] The Metro Times said the single "feature[s] monster guitar riffs that wouldn't sound out of place on a Free or early Aerosmith record."[6]
