He awarded the album four out of five stars, concluding that "in a genre where imitation is often the easiest path to commercial success, Eric Powell continues to concoct his own unique blend of industrial rock, punk, and metal."[2] *Last Sigh Magazine* credited the larger budget with helping 16volt develop as artists, saying "there is a variation in styles that usually comes with relaxed studio time; one of the perks of a major record deal."[3] Dana Bove placed *SuperCoolNothing* at number ten for [*CMJ'*s](/source/CMJ_New_Music_Monthly) top reader choices of the month.[4] ## Track listing All tracks are written by Mike Peoples and Eric Powell.
