Allmusic[6]

Allmusic awarded Disrepair three out of five possible stars.[6] Aiding & Abetting gave the album a more mixed review, praising the production but criticizing the songwriting and musicianship.[7] Black Monday credited the album with being as good as Jezebel Thirteen Three and called the music "well produced and executed, maintaining a tarnished membrane while shining all the brighter."[8] Last Sigh Magazine called the band provocative and emotional, saying "their blend of hard-synth and dark elektro-gothik style is worth hearing over and over again when you feel in the mood for spine tingling aural sensations."[9] Sonic Boom called the album an improvement over its predecessor and said "the engineering and mixing quality is superb and as such all the electronics, guitars, and vocals all flow smoothly together."[10]

gollark: And added a better cooler somehow.
gollark: I wonder how fast it could go if you overclocked it to death.
gollark: At last, I have managed to read my ebooks on a non-Amazon reader and it only took installing Calibre, installing the DeDRM plugin, copying over the folder on my tablet's SD card to my laptop via MTP, importing that, finding out that it recognized the metadata fine but could not actually view the contents, trawling the internet for somewhat dubious old copies of Kindle for PC, installing that in Wine, frantically turning off "automatically update" options before it did something, downloading my books, deregistering old devices because apparently I have a limited amount of devices available per book, downloading the ones which complained, figuring out where the Kindle for PC thing actually saved old books to, running the DeDRM DRM key finding thing, finding that that, not very unexpectedly, didn't work with a Wine install, installing Python 2 in Wine, running the DRM key finding script within the not-really-Windows-install, importing the key into the plugin, and then importing all the book files.
gollark: The newer smaller processes have worse... electromigration or whatever it is... problems.
gollark: I think Intel stuff is rated to run below 105° or so, but it's probably bad for it.
