Reception[edit]
Ryan Speck of Industrial Nation praised Unfinished Business for its hooks and said the album "takes those same Penal Colony punk undertones, strips them of their dark grime, and instead creates a paranoid electronic science fiction masterpiece, dragging you for 12 tracks (plus 2 remixes) through the gutters and alleyways of D Madden's brain."[3]
