Critical reception

AllMusic critic Ned Raggett praised the album, writing: "Drawn-out syllables at the end of lines descending into murk, bellowing half-understandable insanities, flanged warbles and squeals: It's all there." Dave Grohl described it as heavier and better than Black Sabbath. ==Track listing==
