AllMusic[3]

François Couture of AllMusic noted that "the group's highly original blend of Eastern European folk and complex progressive rock elements may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but the level of energy and the raw feelings conveyed by their first proper album make the music more immediate than one would expect".

In popular culture[edit]

The song Coc’n Rolla is used in the YouTube viral video Garfielf,[4] an intentionally crude slideshow parody of the comic Garfield, made using text-to-speech and images presumably made in MS Paint.
