"Seriously, if this is the best thing your A&R managers can come up with, you’re better off firing the whole lot of ‘em. Again Epitaph has managed to reach a new low with I Set My Friends On Fire, another crappy band that got signed after a small MySpace success they had with their cover of Soulja Boy’s “Crank That”. If you wanna hear a good mix of grindcore and pop, check out Japanische Kampfhörspiele instead of this shit." - Punk Rock Theory Magazine
"The second song on I Set My Friends On Fire’s sophomore (and sophomoric) album is called “Infinite Suck.” The music is as annoying as ever, mixing the worst qualities of Brokencyde, I See Stars and Agoraphobic Nosebleed into one swirling blend of cheesy rave synths, ultra-affected “extreme” vocals, talentless guitar mangling, ultra-primitive drum programming and song titles that probably seemed funny at the time (“My Paralyzed Brother Taps His Foot To This Beat,” “Life Hertz,” “Erectangles”). It’s hard to decide which is the album’s worst quality—Mehana’s scratchy throated “extreme” vocals or his lame, off-key attempts to sing cleanly. Maybe it’s neither of those things; maybe it’s the lyrics." - Alternative Press
