Critical reception

Drunk Tank garnered favorable reviews upon its release. Mark Woodlief of Option praised the group for their "unpredictability, sheer raging force and antisociality" and that their music "rattles the innards of the brain, shaking the listener awake to the possibilities of making fingernails on a chalkboard sound darn good."[2] Ian Christie of Alternative Press noted the band's more focused direction and that major label interest might be forthcoming.[3]
