Critical Reception

Exclaim! gave a strongly positive review of the album, describing it as "upbeat blast of cutting aggression, riding the fine line between onslaught and overbearing".[2]

While AllMusic noted the lack of originality in the band's songs, the performance quality and energy were both complimented as exemplars of thrash metal.[1]

gollark: Well, we can't *actually* abstractly "give things intelligence" anyway.
gollark: Obviously this just means I'm untainted by capitalism, so you can trust me.
gollark: No.
gollark: Hardly. There is lots of inertia in country design.
gollark: As supreme eternal world dictator, I would be all of knowledgeable (I have a copy of Wikipedia for purposes), ethical (via relativistic trolley collision simulations), and pragmatic (we would have superhuman AI do all diplomacy for us, ethically).
