"I must say that this album still ranks in my favorite of all time list. Though not as perfect as Indulgence, this cd is very close. The only problem with it is a bit of a lackluster production as that of Indulgence. But songs like Welcome Wagon, Irrational, Family Circus, Puzzled and the devastating Sin Eater Are classics in the nastiest sense. Only a couple of minor fillers in Powerslam and Horizertical (instrumental) to Slightly disappoint, but whatever. Some of these riffs are just awesome and, of course, the great delivery of Nasty Ronnie make it essential. To bad they suffered an early death because they were the best of the crop. R.I.P!"

A minor let-down...

"After a stunning debut, a stellar follow-up, and a bold and tasty EP, we get interference... "Penetration Point" was rife with internal conflict, lack of focus, and lack of cohesiveness. Lost was the nastiness and savage rendering of the material, songs about wrestling, moving into a new neighborhood, and the drummer's family just don't stack up to "Dungeon of Pleasure" and "Incursion Dimentia". By this time Savage was a band just trying to hang in there. They didn't make it much past Penetration Point, as the frequent line-up shifts and inner-band problems were too much of a distraction for them to continue to focus on being Nasty Savage. Once Ronnie dropped the blood and guts and adopted the WWF gimmick, they had lost their core audience, and subsequently, lost their way! Truly a band to be missed!"
