| AllMusic |   [5] |
Jeremy Ulrey of AllMusic compares the band favorably to Skinny Puppy and the Human League and calling the album "not wholly original, but a successful rearranging of parts nonetheless."[5] Black Monday credited the vocal performances as having improved over previous releases and said "solid, definite and without fear, Deathline have pushed their conglomerated staff of musicians forth with a sound that gets attention."[6] Sonic Boom said the release "broadened the compositional diversity of both the electronics and percussion due to the synergy of the contributing artists." The critic concluded, "ultimately when you add all of these elements together you end up with a very well produced and assembled album."[7] The album peaked at number twenty-one on CMJ New Music Monthly's top dance releases in 1997.[8][9]
Track listing[edit]
