Critical reception
AllMusic was generally positive about the album but noted it broke little new ground.[2]
gollark: Quite purple, based on simulations.
gollark: Also, it's irrelevant and just a big number mostly?
gollark: That is *arguably* too many significant figures for my wildly inaccurate calculation but who cares.
gollark: Wouldn't work, the mages can just [REDACTED] anyone controlling them and also each other.
gollark: According to `units`, if it takes an hour to get that much gold, you can process 8.3640844e+19 molcules / s.
