Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars stating "Equal parts rock and free jazz, V as in Victim is a weird journey through a number of styles and sounds -- there's some grooves, some soundscapes and some brutally dissonant variations on free jazz. More often than not, the excursions are successful."[2]

Personnel
gollark: By "don't use google" I mean the search engine; I guess Android is also google, but if you use an AOSP ROM and use alternatives for google apps/services, it's fine.
gollark: They do actually, though they mostly make android phones now...
gollark: ... or iPhones, which are stupidly overpriced.
gollark: You could just not use google.
gollark: We do not need that googulous taint spread further.
