Like much of Godflesh's music, it is regarded as particularly heavy and aggressive, and these elements helped it gain critical acclaim.

It has been described as "a perfect example of No Trend’s ruthless proclivity towards lizard-cold satire". The album cover was drawn by guitarist Frank Price, but it was credited under the pseudonym Jim Jones.
A Dozen Dead Roses is the second studio album by American post-punk band No Trend, released in 1985 through their very own No Trend Records.

Tritonian Nash-Vegas Polyester Complex is the third studio album by American no wave band No Trend, released in 1986 through Touch and Go Records. The album continues the experimental path the band created with their previous record, A Dozen Dead Roses. The album was ill-received among the American underground, to the point that owners of the record would return it for refunds. Up until the reissue of Too Many Humans in 2020, Tritonian Nash-Vegas Polyester Complex and its follow-up album More were the only No Trend albums to be available through digital outlets such as iTunes due to the belief that the master tapes for all of the band's previous material were lost.

The album cover is exactly the same picture used for the band's 1983 debut extended play Teen Love, which was drawn by the band's guitarist Frank Price, who was credited as Jim Jones in the liner notes.
