Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "a locomotive blur of abrasive pop and gnarly guitar psychosis." Spin wrote that "some tracks rock out a la Black Sabbath, some slam your head against the wall courtesy of blazing hardcore, and some make your stomach sick with wimpy pop."Track listing
