Production

Built to Last was the result of a year's work for Sick of It All, with pre-production beginning in late 1995/early 1996. The recording took place at Normandy Sound, in Warren, Rhode Island (where their first three albums had been recorded), and in two studios in California.^{[citation needed]}

Critical reception

The Washington Post wrote that "the music and attitude are entirely predictable, but the 'hey-hey-heys' are rather charming."[9] Entertainment Weekly wrote that the band manages "to overcome the genre’s bark-and-lunge cliches simply because they’re so archetypal; these guys can actually make you feel the fury behind a song called 'Us Vs. Them'."[10]
