AllMusic[1]

AllMusic critic Wilson Neate wrote that "the band rarely strays from the same path, laying down rigid, thumping drum programs and heavy, propulsive basslines as a foundation for abrasive guitars and harsh vocals." Neate also thought that "much of this material sounds slightly anachronistic," due to "the omnipresent drum machine."[1]
