During a review of the band's album "Terror for Sale",
Decibel Magazine described their sound as "joke-rock", and states that the album is "fun and rockin', but way too fun to really be all that rockin'".Bosler, D. Shawn. " [http://www.decibelmagazine.com/reviews/jul2006/terror2000.aspx Terror 2000 - Terror for Sale] ,Decibel Magazine , July 2006.]Allmusic was also critical, awarding the album two and a half stars out of five, and expressing disappointment that the band's "indistinctive neo-thrash songwriting" did not live up to the promise of its lyrics and energy.Rivadavia, Eduardo.
