Reception

Westword called the music of Plague "slick and well mastered" and said "keyboards, samples, distorted vocals and titles such as "Fear" prepare you for Skinny Puppy-style aggression; instead, much of the material is caught in the netherworld between modern dance music and accessible industrial beats."^[3]
