Critical reception In a review of the band's album Terror for Sale, Decibel Magazine described the band's sound as "joke-rock" and stated that the album is "fun and rockin', but way too fun to really be all that rockin.Bosler, D. Shawn. "Terror 2000 – Terror for Sale , Decibel Magazine, July 2006. AllMusic was also critical, awarding the album two-and-a-half stars out of five and expressing disappointment that the band's "indistinctive neo-thrash songwriting" did not live up to the promise of its lyrics and energy.Rivadavia, Eduardo.
