How Dare You? is the sixteenth album by Detroit rock band Electric Six and the thirteenth in their official canon.[1] It was released on October 13, 2017.[2] It is their longest studio album to date.[3] Although this is not technically true as their 2007 album, I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me from Being the Master, is longer at 50 minutes. A single of the song "Arrive Alive" was released ahead of the album as an incentive to pre-order it.
Writing for AllMusic, Mark Deming called the album "Electric Six doing what they do best, with Dick Valentine's gloriously mannered vocals expounding on his myriad obsessions as the guitars, keys, and drums pop behind him like an exceptionally long string of firecrackers", awarding it stars out of 5.[4]
Steve Janes called it "the sound of a rock and roll band respecting its fans, giving them what we have to believe they want", stating that "How Dare You moves seamlessly from the bouncy and poppy numbers like 'Arrive Alive' and 'She's a Forgery' to the brooding and menacing 'Dark Politics' and the title track 'How Dare You'".[5]
