Critical reaction to Brokencyde was strongly negative. Metal Edge Magazine has called Brokencyde "fucking horrendous". Thrash Magazine has called them "a mockery to the world of music".[14] Another metal magazine, Decibel, has repeatedly made fun of the band, mentioning them in a interview with the group Big Business, and once ironically referring to them as their "favorite screamo-crunk band". British commentator Warren Ellis calls Brokencyde's "Freaxxx" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that’s shit about this point in the culture". Says August Brown of the Los Angeles Times, "The 'Albucrazy'-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile." "If this is the future of rock music, we're fucking outta here" wrote Kerrang! in its January 2009 What the F* is up with Screamo Crunk feature. Placing the 'irritation factor' mark at level "very high", the magazine concluded "Thanks to their tacky, lightweight and frankly rubbish sound, they've probably only got a shelf life of about six months".

Based on that i did not watch the video and my opinion of you has gone down even further because you brought such shit to my attention..
