Reviewing the title track, Billboard wrote that the single's "assaulting, deviant style" shows why Prong is popular. [6] Jenni Glenn of CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that the album is heavier and angrier than Cleansing, blending thrash metal and industrial music. [7]
All tracks written by Prong except "Controller" (Prong and Scott Albert) and "Slicing" (Prong and Joe Bishara Kebbe). [8]
