"Brutal Equation" and "Unity of Oppression" were alternative rock hits on MTV.[5]

The name comes from the title of a 1980 book by political scientist Bertram Gross, Friendly Fascism: The New Face of Power in America.[6] The book lays out the form of "creeping fascism" that Gross feared might come to pass in the United States.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "the insufferably self-righteous tone makes the disc hard to endure."[3] Alternative Rock called the album "a hard-hitting soundtrack of hip-hop, funk, soul, and hard rock.[5]
