"Ten absolutely forgettable melodies, sound accompaniments that couldn't be more '80s, tedious and straight from the bottom of the warehouse."

The reviewer laments the album as a symptom of the era's trend of recycling and dilution of once groundbreaking artists. Explore Suicide's groundbreaking debut instead of 'Why Be Blue' for true electronic punk innovation.
