 Allmusic's Alex Henderson gave the album three and a half-stars in 2008.He writes ""Side Show Freaks" -- basically, Limp Bizkit meets Slipknot meets Rage Against the Machine (minus the political rants) meets Korn -- doesn't pretend to point rap-metal in any new directions.But darned if in your face tracks such as "I'm So Ugly," "Untied," "I'm Still Bleeding," and "Suck It Up" aren't infectious and hooky."
