Critical reception

Pitchfork wrote that "the music just isn't strong enough to warrant or excuse the band's bothersome attitudes." The Columbus Dispatch called the album "17 furious songs played ... in fewer than 20 minutes ... The quartet is equally adept at pummeling the ears with slow and midtempo tunes."[4] The Albuquerque Journal thought that "quick songs blow by like fists from a hated bully, while others chug along a la Black Sabbath."[5]
