The review finds the album bracing, with Hibino's accents added to Merzbow's familiar noise. It hears free jazz on Saxxxrum, where Patrick Shiroishi's saxophone sits inside the chaos, and picks the claustrophobic ∞ Echomatter as a highlight, a piece where oppressive mood counts for more than volume. It also judges the record less abrasive than some earlier Merzbow, and credits that to Hibino.
