Anastasia Hartleib from Laut.de was critical with Gleisdreieck's heavy use of autotune effects but enjoyed the overall sound of the album, writing: "Musically, there's hardly anything wrong with Gleisdreieck. The productions are varied but always to the point. There are no unnecessary flourishes, the sometimes quiet, sometimes driving compositions remain pleasantly in the background and give Denalane enough space to showcase her voice aptly. Her fourth album sounds thoroughly modern and knocks the dusty German soul clean. The singer balances masterfully between her roots and current trends. At least most of the time." [2]

Singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello joined the lineup and the band released Spreading the Disease the following year.

Its fourth album State of Euphoria (1988) peaked at 31 on the Billboard 200 and received gold certification in the US.Persistence of Time (1990), noted for its darker lyrical content than previous albums, peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200.
