Kao zvu\u010dni dokument on je dinami\u010dan i uzbudljiv &#8211; zvu\u010dni zapis koji je zabele\u017eio sav koncerti zanos. Kao kompletno delo, album ima mo\u0107nu poruku: to je poziv na mobilizaciju starih propalica, umetnika koji nisu odustali od svoje umetnosti i raznih drugih \u010dudaka &#8211; svih onih koji se suprostavljaju modernom \u017eivotu. To je Mekons pro\u0161irena porodica koja se okuplja u nekom sobi\u010dku i peva protestne ili tu\u017ene pesme i dok to radi shvata da je snaga u tome da se bude zajedno, \u010dak iako smo zajedno malobrojni i ako borba izgleda unapred izgubljena.&#8221; \/Iz Pitchfork recenzije albuma &#8220;Existentialism&#8221;, ocena 7.5\/<\/p>\n<p>Za Mekons je legendarni Rolling Stone novinar Lester Bangs napisao da su &#8220;najrevolucionarnija grupa u istoriji rokenrola&#8221;, a malo bendova ima takav pedigre.
