Reception
Template:Album ratings In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek called the music "one solid blast-ass cut," and wrote: "This is the Boredoms at their most monotonous, but then again, the riff progression has teeth and great drums, and its subtle change is hypnotic in a brutal but no less hedonistic manner."[4]
Pitchfork's Dominique Leone described the album as "a straightforward fusion of hardcore punk and purity through repetition," and commented: "Perhaps Eye got the idea from his heroes Bad Brains, who while never playing any 30-minute hardcore jams, did suggest the possibility that cosmic enlightenment and violent pummeling via riffs and beats were by no means mutually exclusive."[5]
Mark Fisher of Frieze noted that, on the album, the goal was to "combine Acid Rock's expansive wig-outs with Punk's cropped economy." He remarked: "'Hard Trance Away...' produces psychedelic effects with the barest of means... The locked groove repetition soon attains a kind of agitated stillness, a thrashing stasis."[6]
A writer for Freq stated: "33 minutes of monolithic manic pulverising powerful riffs. A full on headlong assault. This is essential stuff."[7]
