Reception
Critic Gregroy Nicoll of Creative Loafing wrote:
Although Madfly frontman William DuVall is certainly a very talented fellow, the guy seems to have an ego the size of the Georgia Dome. You have to wonder about a man who lists his own name 38 separate times in the credits on his CD's packaging, who poaches song titles from Lou Reed and Joan Jett, who writes lyrics like, ‘Fabulous/I'm so fabulous/I feel fabulous/Aren't I fabulous?’ and who then has the crowning audacity to name his publishing company Beautiful Genius Music. I mean, this cat makes Ru Paul look downright bashful! Once past the annoying shout-a-long of "Fire in the Hole," however, Madfly's Get the Silver offers some extremely polished tracks that harken back to the arena-rock anthems of the '70s and '80s.[1]
Nicoll likens certain tracks to artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Queen, David Bowie, and Bon Jovi before concluding, "This CD is redolent with just the sort of slick, clean, heavily processed sounds that make Grammy voters salivate in their seed pods."[1]
