Reception
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4 stars stating "Equal parts rock and free jazz, V as in Victim is a weird journey through a number of styles and sounds – there's some grooves, some soundscapes and some brutally dissonant variations on free jazz. More often than not, the excursions are successful."Erlewine, S. T. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/v-as-in-victim-r299117 Allmusic Review] accessed January 3, 2012
