Critical reception

[edit]

The Palm Beach Post wrote: "Armed with Moogs and electronic effects, paying homage to Devo, Kraftwerk and electronica, and not afraid to cut lyrically incomprehensible, relentlessly driving songs that clock in at over 10 minutes, 6FS is not for the faint of heart or easily disturbed."[7]
