The music video, featuring the band playing in and destroying a room made up of tungsten light bulbs, was deemed too violent for airplay on MTV at the time of release, forcing the band to re-edit the video.
Critical reception
Spin called the title track "a post-rock-gone-hard-rock sonic manifesto."[6] Billboard wrote that the song's "sophisticated groove and overlapping textures tip the hat to techno and trip-hop, but the attitude and invention are pure punk."[7]
NPR included the song on its list of "100 Essential Noise Pop Songs."[8]
