"The first album from the rebooted Test Dept. is an update of their '80s aesthetic, with metallic percussion, dramatic samples, and aggressive, political lyrics all forming the basis of the group's sound. The stomping beat, sampled rally chants, and distorted vocals of "Landlord" resemble what Test Dept. would've sounded like if they'd followed the electro-industrial current of the '90s, but rather than the dead-end nihilism of much of that scene, this is a much more urgent call for resistance".

"In this time when dank edgelords across techno and industrial music are still flogging the dead SS cavalry charger of suspect aesthetics and prissy growling, it's refreshing to listen to a record where you've never a doubt that the sturm-und-drang is in aid of righteous causes. May the Test Dept cogs keep on grinding".
