Liam's vocals are uncharacteristically good on this release. He uses a ton of variation and
has created many fun, catchy, choruses. The guitarist writes some pretty awesome riffs, but
I'd like to see him inject more complexity into his playing. The drum work is passable, but
nothing overly interesting. It's a shame because the percussion is extremely well produced
and punchy. Although "Dead Set on Living" is a continuation the same record written their
entire career, the refinement and song writing on this release keep the experience from
becoming stale. No filler here; Best Cancer Bats album to date!
