"[Pool of Frogs] creates cynically sweet music with some seriously sharp teeth...Though always remarkable, Pool of Frogs' infectious music shines brightest live."
"There are only a handful of bands that you can see multiple times in a month and still rock out like it's the first time they popped your rock-cherry; Pool of Frogs is definitely one of them."
"The album is a refreshing dose of realism...The songs were recorded live,
and they sound like it, thank goodness. The lyrics — written and sung by chief
songwriter Fess — are by turn biting, humorous,
satirical, silly, and downright in-your-face honest. He possesses
a sincere growl that borders on obsessive but manages to hover at edgy,
which quite nicely describes the music as well."
"This band sweats a rock’n'roll party from every pour! If there was ever a band that lived and died on the energy generated from an audience its Pool of Frogs. Singer/guitarist Chad Fess gives every last drop to the crowd with his performance to the point where you’re almost a little worried if he’s gonna make it. As a spectator it puts one in that unique position of focusing intently on the show and at the same time listening carefully so that you can make sure to hear the exact moment when his lung collapses… and maybe be able to quickly move out of the way should it come flying out of his mouth and smack you in the face. Well thankfully that didn’t happen on Thursday. The guys put on a great show in their typically dizzying nursery rhyme meets Celtic-bar-room-punk-rock fashion..."
