Artwork
The cover art was censored in the UK after customs seized and destroyed the first shipment for violating the Obscene Publications Act.[7]
Critical reception
The Quietus called the album "intense but still something you could call 'rock.'"[8] Trouser Press called it an "exposition of versatile thrash jazz," writing that "each instrument occupies its own sonic terrain, combining in a sprawl of unanticipated death metal."[9]
