Critical reception

[edit]

Drowned in Sound described the album as "more screams, more stabbed-at guitars, more noise, more passion, more intelligence, more everything."[3] Exclaim! wrote: "With dissonant riffs laid out over stellar technical drumming, the musical skill exhibited by FBTMOF makes Art Damage a truly interesting listen, as do the added sonic layers of noise and abstract sound."[1]
