"The songs are big and soaring, eminently melodic and poppy, with plenty of emotionally charged lyrics and lots of metallic flourishes and riffs. Nearly every song turns into something on an epic scale."- Jersey Beat
"'The Bastards Live Forever' is a confessional punk album created by genuine musicians who want to talk about real pain and real experiences."- Santa Barbara Independent
"What makes any punk/pop-punk/post-punk album truly one for the ages are great hooks, and this album has them in spades. Versus The World have definitely put their best foot forward with The Bastards Live Forever."- The Indy Review
"...fast-paced, catchy punk rock."- BrooklynVegan

Of the album, singer Donald Spence says, "I can’t tell you how much work went into this collection of songs.I’d always been taught that if what you were working on wasn’t (what you thought) was your best... start over. Never put anything into the world that you were not absolutely sure of."
"The Bastards Live Forever" consists of 11 songs crafted to perfection. VTW's unique style of melodic post-punk elevates every member's skill from their other projects including Chris Flippin of Lagwagon. Obviously, Versus The World is not all about musical craft but you can hear a passion and an urge to scream out deeply rooted feelings in every syllable throughout the record.
