AllMusic[1]

It was the first Carter USM album to feature new drummer Wez.[4] Formerly of the band International Resque, he replaced the trusty drum machine which was the mainstay of their previous recordings.

As a result of this, the album marked a shift away from the characteristic sound of their previous records, and instead saw the group veer from full-on punk rock (Airplane Food/Airplane Fast Food), to more experimental sounds (the title track), and more downtempo ballads (Ceasefire).

Critical reception

Alternative Rock wrote that "Worry Bomb explodes in all directions at once, a breathless bonanza of true punk."[2]
