Avant garde and not terribly accessible, the album's noisy anarchy was a tonic for punks and intellectuals sick of the bloated, corporate sound that passed for commercial rock at the time.

Crocus Behemoth) high-concept vision of a rock band whose sound was always just on the verge of falling apart. It is hard to believe that such noises could come from so deep in America's heartland, played by a group named after a French absurdist play.
