Reception
Clash's Paulina Subia described the album as "a doom metal thrasher straight out of Electric Wizard's universe, packed with machine gun riffs, pummeling drums and seething vocals" and "a brilliant debut, ambitious in the best of ways," giving it a rating of eight out of ten.[7] In her four-star review of Something to Consume for DIY, Sarah Jamieson referred it as "fierce" and "fearless", noting it enabled the band to bring their "vision into sharp relief."[5]
Writing for Kerrang, Rishi Shah noted the album as "a thunderous, cathartic debut that remains subtly political and emotive while prioritizing surface-level pandemonium," rating it four out of five.[15] Under the Radar commented that the album represents "a record that fuses serrated punk edge with grunge's murkier hues and a politically conscious undercurrent."[13]
The album received a five-star rating from New Noise, whose reviewer Justice Petersen remarked about its "hypnotic and hard-hitting identity", stating it "firmly cements the band as one of the most exciting up-and-comers within the modern rock landscape."[2]
