SuperCoolNothing is the fourth studio album by 16volt, released on August 18, 1998 by Cargo and Re-Constriction Records.[1] Two-thousand copies of the album were re-pressed by Dark City Music with new cover art and the first 100 copies signed by the band.
Don Kline of AllMusic called SuperCoolNothing "a menacing album full of whisper-to-scream verses, explosive choruses, and brooding electronic soundscapes." He award the album four out of five stars, concluding that "in a genre where imitation is often the easiest path to commercial success, Eric Powell continues to concoct his own unique blend of industrial rock, punk, and metal." Last Sigh Magazine credited the larger budget with helping 16volt develop as artists, saying "there is a variation in styles that usually comes with relaxed studio time; one of the perks of a major record deal."[2] Dana Bove placed SuperCoolNothing at number ten for CMJs top reader choices of the month.[3]
