While Flood did not receive many reviews, it has become a cult album among fans, prompting the band to play it in its entirety every night of their 2013 US-based "Residency Tour".[2]

Musical style

Musically, the album marked a change in musical direction; it features less of the abrasive sound heard on Absolutego and Amplifier Worship, and incorporated minimalism and progressive rock elements.
