Reception [ ]
In reviewing A Collection of Rare, Unreleased & Remastered , Peter Marks of Brutal Resonance criticized the music for not aging well but acknowledged that he preferred the albums Mentallo & The Fixer produced after Dwayne Dassing departed from the band.[3] Lollipop Magazine stated "Texan electro-industrial act Mentallo & The Fixer has been at it for a while, and that knowledge shows on the lean, effective "decomposed (spent)."[4] [5] Peek-A-Boo Magazine criticized the collection for being excessive, saying "slimming it down to three or even two cd's would have been possible, maybe even with a few free downloads of remixes/reworked songs."[6]
