Ceremony's sophomore full-length release was received by generally favorable reviews, following high expectations set by their widely acclaimed initial releases. [3] Critics also acknowledged the record's slight departure from the intensity of Violence Violence for a sound that was increasingly influenced by 1980s hardcore punk.

Punknews.org notes that "Ceremony have further abandoned the fuck-all, one-after-another power-violence attacks to better vary their approach, nonetheless one still indebted to rabid mid-`80s hardcore". [2] Similarly, Sputnikmusic writes that, in comparison to Ceremony's previous releases, the songs in Still Nothing Moves You "are less spontaneous 30 second bursts of violence, and more well thought out 56 second bursts of aggression".

Government Issue was an American hardcore punk band from Washington, D.C. active from 1980 to 1989. The band experienced many changes in membership during its nine-year existence, with singer John Stabb as the only consistent member in an ever-fluctuating lineup that at various times included notable musicians Brian Baker, Mike Fellows, Steve Hansgen, J. Robbins, and Peter Moffett. Government Issue originated from the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene but added elements of heavy metal, new wave, and psychedelic rock on later records.
