The album proved to be the bands' defining moment, as it continuously gained recognition over the years. It was ranked 7th among the Top 10 most Underrated Hardcore Albums by Metal Hammer magazine,[2] and AllMusic stated that this album was when "Strife finally hit everything just right. Their sound is big and full, yet almost clinically tight; the tempos are brisk, sometimes headlong."[3] Canadian straight-edgemetalcore band In This Defiance, active from 2005-2007, named themselves after this album and cited it as a major influence.[4]
In 2017, the album was reissued on vinyl with a limited run of only 100 copies through guitarist Andrew Kline's own record label WAR Records.[5] It was subsequently re-released on vinyl by Victory Records in 2020. In 2018, Strife performed the album in its entirety at a select run of concerts.[6]
