Reception

X Magazine gave Is God in Showbusiness Too? a mixed review and said "overall, these guys are really tight, more so than any unsigned band I've ever listened to. Bandleader Dave Creadeau has a good ear for blending the evil and the ethereal, and that comes out especially well on instrumental tracks such as "Brave New ; World," "Nine-Eleven" and the haunting sample-narrated "Black Rain"." The magazine noted that "the only things that make it sound like it's not a full-on pro-level industrial-dance album are a handful of rough-sounding synth patches and a couple of samples that are kind of clumsily used."^[3][4]
