“If you like to laugh, own a crapload of black T-shirts, have repeatedly ruined rugs with bong water, and wear "dork" as a badge of honor, this is your new favorite album.” – ALL MUSIC GUIDE
““Metal by Numbers” is a spot-on send-up that lays into the shameless copycats plaguing the genre” - TIME OUT NEW YORK
“Posehn is hilarious, proud of his identity as an overgrown nerd and adult heavy metal worshiper. There's something endearing about listening to his dorky laugh and riotous stories” – CHORD MAGAZINE
