Release

Reception

awarded the album a score of 68%, saying "everything on Infomaniac feels muted and tame. The drums barely come alive, the guitars are far too airy and light, and even Reilly's vocals appear wayward and overly self-indulgent." Reviewer Gregory Robson also mentioned numerous times that it did not live up to their debut self-titled album.
