Reception
Sonic Boom praised the songwriting and musicianship and noted that although less abrasive than Stalemate "the true essence of SMP still remains to brutally assault you with powerful media unfriendly themes and pulse pounding music."[2] Aiding & Abetting compared the music favorably to Devo and Ice-T and noted the stronger influence of techno music in SMP's compositions.[3]
