released their only full-length studio album

Rickard left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Sean McArdle. Two years later, the band released their only full-length studio album, Chimera , on Lookout! Records. Allmusic’s Erik Hage called the album a “tightly played and aggressive effort that succeeds most when it steers clear of the doomier, sludgy moments.” Pitchfork Media ‘s Brendan Reid, in a mixed review of the album, criticized the band’s tempo and time signature changes and complimented the album’s “more straightforward rock tracks (‘Hated Man’) and the ones that sustain the quiet side of the dynamics see-saw (‘Symptomatic’),” where, Reid described, “the band’s anger actually sounds like something more than Drive Like Jehu on autopilot.”
