Reception
[edit]Metal music reviewer Angry Metal Guy gave the album a rating of 2/5 ("disappointing"), saying that "It lacks the clinical harshness of true industrial and the aggressive danger of metal. It’s intangibly insubstantial, a sugary treat rather than a satisfactory meal. It’s much too safe.".[2] Metalblast gave the album a 3/5, saying that the album "Just doesn't bring much to the table in terms of original or uncommon content", however praised it for "Clean production" and "Clear mixing of the instrumental components".[4]
