Critical reception

Spin called the title track "a post-rock-gone-hard-rock sonic manifesto."[5] Billboard wrote that the song's "sophisticated groove and overlapping textures tip the hat to techno and trip-hop, but the attitude and invention are pure punk."[6]

NPR included the song on its list of "100 Essential Noise Pop Songs."[7]
