"If these guys went back on tour again, I can see them performing with He Is Legend and Every Time I Die. There is not a single ballad on Shock Value, which is a definite plus because it would have ruined the creativity of Twelve Gauge Valentine. Other than confusing lyrics and satire, the major downfall of Shock Value is that it is too short. There is plenty of energy on this record, but rocking out to eleven songs for less than 32 minutes is a catastrophe. Now don't get me wrong -- these guys rock and they do not have one bad song on this album. Shock Value might not live up to its full potential, but it is a good and creative effort. Fans of Southern hardcore music should give this album a listen." writes Fred Keel of Jesus Freak Hideout.
