AllMusic[1]

In their favourable review of the album, AllMusic wrote, "The production is awful, boasting thin and sharp guitars, muted drumming and echoing vocals that sound like what it might have been like to stand outside of their rehearsal hall. But somehow the songs manage to overcome the production, offering a somewhat beautiful (albeit warped) view of heavy metal that comes off far more ambitious than a band in their position usually does."[1]

gollark: I wonder if DE counts this as defeating them, such that you can access the chaos crystals.
gollark: Good news: chaos guardians can indeed go in spatial IO.
gollark: Unless it just tries to fly back to where its crystals ought to be! I should check!
gollark: It would *attack* you, which would work.
gollark: I am not sure.
