Reception

In 2005 the album was placed number 427 on Rock Hard magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time". [1] Staff writer Alex Henderson of Allmusic gave the album four out of five stars, writing "the New Jersey residents put their own spin on Seattle's grunge sound, and the interesting effects and atmospherics they weave into rockers like 'Now Nothing,' 'Buffalo,' and 'Damned' point to the fact that Nudeswirl was intent on being recognizable and distinctive."
