Contents

Upon announcement, lead vocalist Chris Cheney said "We did not want to make a big, over-the-top record with a hundred parts. We've made those records. This one had to sound like a slick machine. Trim the fat. Yeah, there are those harmonies and extra guitar bits. But a big part of the writing was knowing what a song didn't need." [1]

Reception

Al Newstead from Double J said "I Only Trust Rock n Roll steps back in time sonically, but the pointed lyrics skewer contemporary concerns." [3]
