AllMusic[1]

Trouser Press described the album as "an uneven work".[2] AllMusic called it "Not as spectacular as what would follow", but not without its own set of thrills."[1]

Samples

"Stay Out Of It" samples three phrases from the Outer Limits episode "Demon with a Glass Hand": "the third part of your brain... you know where it is?", "don't kill me, please... please..." and "the hand... tell me what to do".
