Raziq Rauf of '' Drowned in Sound'' thought that the band were "very good and it is safe to say that they take their influences from nobody but themselves". ''LAS Magazine'' Ryan Allen found it "high concentration on hooks and might. The record is bombastic as all get out" as it "never really takes it foot off the gas, barreling into curves and sort of doing so without much shame, which is definitely respectable".

Track listing

All music by Rival Schools, all lyrics by Walter Schreifels. "Sweet" is the b-side of the "Used For Glue" single, but only on the vinyl version. The song is titled "The Sweet" on the original single, possibly incorrectly. It has never been released digitally outside of appearing on an Australian compilation titled " Soundwave 09" in 2008. "Get Centered" was previously only available through a sample CD that the band handed out on their 2001 tour, prior to the release of ''United by Fate''. The song is titled "Get Center" on that release, possibly incorrectly. "Grunge Model" also originates from the aforementioned promotional CD. It was re-released as one of the b-sides of "Used For Glue" in 2002. "Accept A Compliment" was previously unreleased, although a song by the band titled "Accept The Compliment (Demo)" appeared on promotional CD for 2000's Warped Tour. It is unclear if this is the same version found on the vinyl record. "On Vacations" is also a "Used For Glue" b-side, under the title, "On Vacation". "Bells" can be found on the Japanese version of the album and as the final b-side for "Used For Glue".
