Reception

[edit]

Andy Hinds from Allmusic said that Don't Blow Your Top "sounds a little flimsy when compared to the band's pile-driving later work", and that it sounds "like a combination of early Meat Beat Manifesto, Twitch-era Ministry, and even...the more primitive stuff of Alien Sex Fiend."[1]
