Allmusic     [2]

Allmusic called Keçkispasse? "a never-ending adrenaline rush", writing that the album is "a perfect soundtrack for a wide variety of physical activities [...] but if one is seeking any sort of musical inventiveness it would probably be a good idea to look elsewhere."[2]

Notes

edit
  • The track T.N. is performed with AqME and Enhancer, and stands for Team Nowhere, an association of nu metal musical groups in France, which includes Enhancer and included AqME at the time of the recording.
  • The track Frakasse Smala talks about Team Nowhere and how the bands in the association should stay united ("Gardons notre unité", meaning "let's stay united"). Pleymo mentions AqME (under their former band name Neurosyndrom) among other bands, such as Wünjo, Enhancer, Watcha, and Noisy Fate. [1]
