It's Now or Never (album)

Critical reception

The album received mixed reviews. James Shotwell from Under the Gun Review said "Overall, the record is not bad, and there are certainly some very notable tracks. I just can’t get over the fact that they sound so much like Asking Alexandria, who I love by the way, and it somewhat bothers me that they remind me of them so much. When looking for a new band to sink my teeth into I try to look for unique songs, clever lyrics and solid musicianship. I can find some of these elements, and this band has great potential, but I’m not sure they have made it there quite yet."

Todd Lyons from About.com strongly criticized the album saying "Make Me Famous, with their debut It's Now Or Never, have become famous by igniting high-octane hatred across the metal diaspora. Hundreds of metal blogs agree, Make Me Famous is worse than a hot lead high colonic. This begs the question[sic], are they THAT bad? Yes."

Kill Hipsters said that it ripped off Asking Alexandria and panned their song titles saying "You’ve heard it all before from other bands that were around long before Make Me Famous were; Asking Alexandria and Attack Attack! influences are plentiful on this album. Denis doesn’t make it a secret that the bands he was covering on his YouTube channel he’s basically ripped off on his bands album. In-fact if you visit Denis’ YouTube channel you can see the wide variety of covers he did of songs from artists like Woe, Is Me, Attack Attack!, Asking Alexandria and more. The very fact this album sounds like a direct rip-off of Asking Alexandria and Attack Attack! doesn’t help the situation. The song titles in true cliche style even have ridiculous song titles, I thought everyone had moved on from that, but it looks like Denis didn’t get the memo."
