It includes the singles "After Midnight", "Wicked Ones", "Gun in My Hand", "Missile", and "Raise Hell", which has been featured in promos for Pandora, HBO shows, Levi's, , Acura, Orange Is the New Black, Now You See Me 2 and the WWE Mae Young Classic.[1] [2]
The album received generally favorable reviews. Matt Stereo of Stereo Champions said that "DOROTHY is loud, triumphant, confident arena rock at its absolute finest and ROCKISDEAD is not an album to be missed."[3] Shauna Brock of Hard Attack Magazine called the album "one of those albums that rock writers yearn for and should be held up as one of the best of the year."[4] In a more critical review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic criticized the band for being "designed to please crowds" and lacking ambition, concluding that the album "works because it's transparent trash so desperate to be dirty."
In December 2016, Brian Shea of Game Informer listed Rockisdead as #4 on his list of his 10 favorite rock albums from 2016.[5]
