I would say that the theme of Death Is A Warm Blanket was the line, “it doesn’t really get better, that’s just something they say.” Everything just keeps getting worse and everything is awful and sucks and that’s life.

"[2] A review in The Music ended, "although I have a few minor issues with what is still a robust final product, 'Death is a Warm Blanket' serves as a steadfast pillar in the ever-growing catalog of Microwave; one that'll certainly satiate and blow the ears off of every fan come September 13th" and characterized the release as a "gut-wrenching" "droning and sludgy mesh of genres, and a colourful display of the emotions that come with a flurry of human stresses".

[3] At PunkNews, Death Is a Warm Blanket was scored 3.5 out of 5 stars by Renaldo69 who compared this sound to Manchester Orchestra and Taking Back Sunday, with this album displaying the band's versatility.
