"(...) The following song is a glowing tribute to our men and women in blue who courageously risk their lives each day, handing out tickets to people for riding their bicycles on the sidewalk. "New violence" is ridiculously excellent as is but when combined with TV Carnage the result is nothing short of a Lethal Force."
