The album was a local success in Boston,sold out its initial pressing and won three awards from the 1995 Boston Phoenix Readers' Poll,including "Best Metal Album","Best Rap Album" and "Album of the Year".

The album's musical style incorporates elements of heavy metal,funk,hard rock,and rap. [10] According to AllMusic's Chris Slawecki,vocalist Spider One "doesn't sing one single lyric,instead barking out the lyrics in a hard staccato delivery." [10]
