Reception
[edit]Connexion Bizarre criticized The Truth Hurts 1985–2000 for being a poorly assembled collection and said "it's perfectly passable industrial of a kind that is all but history now, but the thing is, others did it better."[4] Fabryka Music Magazine awarded the collection a perfect rating of four out of four stars.[5]
