reception

  • The Metal Hammer wrote in September 1995 that Selig would drive in the fast lane compared to Brings . Blessed are fully captured by the retro trend and move in the area of ​​alternative / grunge. The music would be even more reminiscent of the Doors compared to the debut album , and the group's lyrics were mostly about sexual themes.
