Critical reception

[edit]

Exclaim! wrote: "Their sound has a heaviness that sticks out among their sunny-sided SoCal brethren. This is the sort of thing that would come out of New York, sounding like Helmet meets Sick Of It All."[6] The San Diego Union-Tribune called the album "nothing more than a lame attempt to rip off Rage Against the Machine."[5]
