Reception

A critic for Sonic Boom described Killer as being the band's most consistent album since Grow – Speed – Injection, saying "instead of focusing on a handful of filler tracks and remixes as in the past, the majority of the album consists of full length original songs, thereby choosing to relegate the fluff to a more appropriate remix album. Despite criticizing Swamp Terrorists for not growing musically Sonic Boom gave the album a positive review, noting that "the same zany lyrical style and freaked out power guitar chords are still present along with more than their fair share of pulsating dance electronics which seem to keep the Swampies a favorite in clubs."[3]
