Reception
Jon Worley of Aiding & Abetting called Collateral Damage a "strident industrial soundtrack" and said "Spahn Ranch merely cuts through all pretense and serves up 10 tracks of pure vitriol" Keyboard commended the band's resistance to being pigeonholed. Critic Dave Thompson said "Ranch's industrial anguish and fury seethes with barely repressed emotion" and they "create a hard-hitting and provocative indictment of life's injustices, filled with anger, angst, and bleakness."
Option criticized the music for being recorded poorly and for being derivative of Ministry and Skinny Puppy. The critic concluded by noting "this is a band that hasn't found its voice yet; everything is cliché from the music to the unappetizing cadaver shot on the cover, which was obviously purloined from a medical textbook — talk about cheesy."
