Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music wrote that "the lyrics built on the themes of oppression and social injustice, while the use of samplers and sequencers offered an extra aural dimension."[3] Metal Hammer's The Book of Metal wrote that "the rumbling bass lines and jarring Prong-esque guitars filled dancefloors in alternative clubs across Europe."[1]
