Reception
Randolph Heard of Option gave a Funky Alternatives Seven and claimed "manly growling and bleating over lead-footed beats and pop-culture sampling depict a cartoonish cyberpunk world full of diseased machines, rabid Christians, terminal drug abuse and, of course, cop killing." He went on to say "the more techno-oriented cuts, the hyper, plastic rhythms tend to take the sting out of the industrial sound, which turns the crashing guitars, distorted vocals and aura of destruction into mere flavoring for the techno beat."{{cite journal |first=Randolph |last=Heard |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bC5LAAAAYAAJ |title=Various Artists: Funky Alternatives Seven |journal=Option |publisher=Sonic Options Network |date=1994 |volume=54-58 }}
