"Danger! Gem City swaggers like vintage Dolls, Nineteen is a bass-blasting track that coulda been a Foghat B-side in a past life, Avoidance provides funk a rap-metal band could never comprehend with a Frank Black quirkiness, and Rock 'n' Roll Touch Me is Motorhead slathered in Mudhoney, only less refined."

"... When a band like Dayton's Igniters promise me a disc with a good-old
rock 'n' roll feel and evoke names like the Stones, Stooges, and Dolls in their press notes, naturally, I start thinking, 'This could be good.' And it is. ... The band brings the
proper muscularity to their playing, and they do have the swagger and bravado
necessary to rock around a bit."
