AllMusic[3]

The album cover by Wes Benscoter is a parody of the cover of the Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother.[7] The cover, which depicts a cow defecating flesh and blood, was deemed grotesque by many retailers and they refused to carry it unless it was changed.[8] The cover was edited, removing the cow, and leaving just a barren wasteland.[9]

The album's opening track "Scatology Domine" (the title of which is also a Pink Floyd reference, in this case to the song "Astronomy Domine") is a cover of the opening of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote: "These CA sickos have honed their gore-grind skills down to perfection now; harnessing the early Carcass sound and adding in modern death metal ingredients, CD are one of the best doing this sound today."[10] Orlando Weekly wrote that "Cattle Decapitation again provide a potent antidote to the prevalent knucklehead mindset that defines most metal."[2]
