Reception

Aiding & Abetting reviewed Thugs 'n' Kisses positively and said the album "has tracks from some of the best in the business" and "the result is an almost seamless foray into a nice industrial-techno subgenre."[2] The Alternative Press described it as "sixteen aggressive guitar/synth combinations aimed at frequenters of mosh pits who have little or no regard for their own personal safety."[3] Sonic Boom called the release "a very solid collection of electrocore bands proving once again that there is more to industrial guitar music than the MTV poster child NIN would lead us to believe."[4] Black Monday credited "Human Waste" as being a highlight of Society Burning's discography and better than any song on their 1996 debut EP Entropy.Lingua.[5]

gollark: Oh, and their prison which tortures people into insanity, and this is seen as a feature?
gollark: There *were* those people tortured into insanity.
gollark: IIRC there's an offhand mention to flying carpets, *being banned* due to apioformic tradition by the ministry.
gollark: WHO thought "hmm, I can make arbitrary objects fly. Why don't I put said flight thing on a really thin object which is not merely irritating to sit on but also hard to control?"‽
gollark: No, it just lets them know where you are.
