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]
