Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote: "With each album, the band pushes their craftsmanship for the obscure even further, and The Gap is a prime result of this."[4] The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "a frustrating, daring and sometimes unlistenable entry in the band's canon."[5] PopMatters wrote that it "may be one of the most unlistenable albums in existence."[6]
