Reception

Jason Pettigrew at Alternative Press lauded The Myth of Rock as "a fascinating palette of noises, beats and musique concrete" and noted that, on a political level, the band is intelligent and well informed, but warned that "nobody likes to be bludgeoned... while listening to records."[3] Paul Davies from Q Magazine concurred with 'the sound is a bruisingly, hard-hitting and uncompromising as the message".[4]
