The album generally received positive reviews from music critics. Pitchfork critic Kim Kelly described the record as "an intense listen, and a wholly cathartic one as well," and further explained: "There are plenty of moments of outright aggression, bleak, harrowing passages of unrelenting blasts, narrated by a chaotic, urgent voice that veers between angry wails and sparse, Slint-like sotto voce intonations depending on the lyrical bent."[3] PopMatters' Craig Haynes regarded the album as the band's "chef-d’œuvre." Haynes also stated: "Merging melodic elegance with blackened rancor might seem on paper to be an incongruent mix. But the longer you listen, the more it all makes perfect, albeit idiosyncratic, sense – admirably reflecting the conflict and confusion of life itself."[4] Christopher R. Weingarten of Spin described the album as "a circling Venn diagram where math rock and black metal meet" and "more bleak shame-spiral than Liturgical transcendence."[1]

gollark: I mean making good use of the DNS packets, not CPU use on each end; I don't really care about that.
gollark: So you probably need checksums now and you use up even more of the packet size.
gollark: And you also need to be able to autodetect properties of the system of DNS servers between you and the authoritative one doing the actual bridging. But that might randomly change (e.g. if you switch network) and start messing up your data.
gollark: But you also want to be able to send data up efficiently, but you're probably using much of the limited space for user data which won't get munged by recursive DNS/proxies/whatever on the session token and whatever, so now you have to deal with *that*.
