Better than Set It Off upon first listen but this is still oh so generic and average. I guess there were some moments where it sounded promising.

With this release, I find that he exhibits a lack of progress as an artist. "Set It Off" could have been seen as a one-off piece to attract attention to his real triumph, but with "If Looks Could Kill" it seems that instead of attempting to pass his contemporaries, he's satisfied with releasing safe material. While this reduces the risk of alienating potential fans, as an artistic statement, it's rather poor. 2.5

This was written as a dare of sorts, not to sound pretentious :P

Edit: Actually, this isn't all that bad in hindsight. I mean it's generic and all that, but it's got that happy vibe, (I suspect it's due to the minor piano at the start of the chorus, like it is for every other song :P). I can tolerate this more than Set It Off.

Glad to see him adding to an already menacing set list.

A bit of a poor follow up from Set It Off.

I'm seriously confused with the intentions of Timomatic in this song. He is implying that if looks could kill, that he would basically die, so he asks 'her' to look at him, implying the he wants to die. WTF?

But he knows how to dance.

Totally shithouse. While Set It Off also sucked ass, at least I could see why it'd be a successful party song for people who like that crap, this one is just too dull for that really.

Pretty nice, but nothing compared to Set It Off. I do agree with Hijinx :P

He needs to work on his enunciation.

Genuine high-tempo pop/club track. Timomatic puts more effort into this song, but without overdoing it. Thumping beat. Easily the best of his first 3 singles.

As cliche as they come, but it's so damn catchy! Much better than Set It Off.

Slightly better than 'Set It Off' but he's no Michael Jackson.
