Production
The album was produced by Steve Evetts.[10] The album cover was designed by the artist Dave McKean.
Reception
Chronicles of Chaos wrote: "Managing to stir up enough emotion and deafening cries of aggression, the band storms through a sonic assault of heavy vibes and mosh pit worthy material—and the music of Slither is also chock-full of strong harmonies to boot."[5] The Telegram & Gazette wrote that the songs "boast rich textures as the band combines its old hard-core raucousness with a freshly developed 'clean' heavy-rock sound."[11] The New Straits Times thought that "the lyrics are often contrived and meaningless, which diminishes the power of the music somewhat."[12]
