AllMusic     [3]

The Chicago Tribune wrote that "with two bass guitars, drums and a variety of taped sound effects, Cop Shoot Cop courts dissonance—'white noise'—without actually succumbing to it. Rather, 'white noise' might actually refer to the band itself, modern purveyors of the white-boy blues."[4]
