Reception

The album received some positive reception for its heavier metal sound than the previous album, Über Alles,[4] with Metal.de noting that "[it is] blessed with an appropriately eardrum-massaging production."[5] There was also negative reception, with some critics dismissing the album and band as a novelty act.[6][7]
