"Pros And Cons works because it takes each band member out of their comfort zone. Rota’s guitar work in Fireball Ministry is always very heavy handed and serious. I don’t know if it’s working alongside Dave Bone, but in The Company Band we get to hear Jim Rota relax and rock out. Brad Davis takes a break from the straight groove of Fu Manchu so he can walk around a bit and allow his bass playing to be, for lack of a better term, tougher."

"Let’s be frank, most of the new face of rock is pretty pussy. It’s all overly attractive men preening on stage and pandering to the audience in some kind of bad homage to AC/DC or Led Zeppelin. The Company Band are the exact opposite. This is fighting rock, drinking rock, tough guy who is going to die on the road rock. Pros And Cons is the kind of album that would make Bon Scott smile and Grand Funk Railroad proud. The Company Band’s relentless pursuit of boogie down swing is a dying art form, but when it all goes up in flames at least we’ll have the tunes man!"
