Critical reception
Tucson Weekly called New World Record "an album that gets closest to the ferocious energy the band generates on stage" and "the best thing they've put out since 1993's Tool."[6] The Chicago Reader called the album "a striking left turn from a band that's produced more than its share of mediocre alternapop."[8] CMJ New Music Report called it "melodic, punchy post-punk [that] works in the darker intensity of the band's famed live shows."[9]
