Static-X are currently getting rave reviews for their appearances on the mainstage at Ozzfest. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer noted that their "straight-up sonic brutality through feverish riffs and rhythmic bombasts cast shrapnel-like grenades into the audience." The O.C. Register raved: "Static-X found its groove early on, amping up the crowd with its brand of hyperactive dissonance," while the Los Angeles Times praised them for pumping out "a tight, ultra-loud set of rhythm-obsessed 'evil disco.'"
