Reception

In reviewing Death by Design, Aiding & Abetting criticized the songwriting of the slower songs but said "T.H.C. packs enough distortion and speed into the songs to satisfy any fan of that kind of electronic madness."[2] A critic at Sonic Boom gave the album a mixed review, saying "sure the music is sparse, dancey as hell, and sometimes drifts towards an ambient style setting but without any depth of layering what does the music actually offer to the audience?" The critic concluded by stating "the few ambient tracks on this album do make for an excellent stereophonic experience and tend to contain a great deal more complexity which I think are the saving grace for this album."[3]
