Reception

Critics praised the album's complex and ferocious rhythms. Keith Bergman, writing for Blabbermouth.net, argues in a highly positive 8/10 review that the album is "a lurching start-stop mélange of tempos that switch back and forth fast enough to give you whiplash, even more brutal for its lack of cohesion and unsettling, jittery rhythmic convulsions."[3]
