Allmusic	[4]

Allmusic awarded Loaded three out of five possible stars.[4] Aiding & Abetting commended the band for diversifying their sound, saying "change is good, and I think the pullback from the hardcore is the right one" and "there are still plenty of mean and loud moments, but now they have a context in which to work."[5] Sonic Boom credited the band's change in membership and choice of Strapping Young Lad frontman Devin Townsend as a producer with providing "rich compositional arrangement, appropriate use of guitars, and strong production qualities that make UNIT:187 sound like a brand new band."[6] Fabryka Music Magazine called Loaded "a successful trial of connecting metal riffs with modern electronics."[7]

gollark: You said something about not considering malicious programs doing evilness to memory management.

gollark: I mean that it has isolation mechanisms, so other stuff like memory management should not allow stuff to access other things in violation of those.

gollark: Can most programs do that, however?

gollark: ... yes you should. Linux has options to isolate processes from each other like namespaces.

gollark: I actually run a userspace OOM killer, due to bee.
