Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that Prong "combines postindustrial noise, a rebellious punk mentality, and heavy-metal flourishes and, with a minimalist approach that is anything but simplistic, strips them all down to a brutal essence."[6] Trouser Press wrote: "While the trio’s devotion to precisely lurching rhythms keeps the songs choppy — a clenched fist twitching spasmodically as it prepares to deliver a haymaker — this dull record makes that attribute part of a tentative shift toward industrial anti-musicality."[10]
