Critical response
Commenting on the rhythm section by Patrick Keeler (drums) and Jack Lawrence (bass), Prefix Magazine said that "their propulsive rhythm single-handedly saves first single 'Salute Your Solution'."[7] The Metro Times said the single "feature[s] monster guitar riffs that wouldn't sound out of place on a Free or early Aerosmith record."[8] This song was number 42 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.[9]
