Rezeption

Rezensionen

Für die Webseite AllMusic schrieb Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Big Bam Boom sei ein „sprawling and diffuse album“ und „a bigger, noisier record than its predecessors, with its rhythms smacking around in an echo chamber and each track built on layers of synthesizers and studio effects“. Erlewine kritisierte jedoch die Produktion.
