Reception
James P. Wisdom of Pitchfork Media gave Tragic Epilogue a 6.5 out of 10, saying: "It’s an auspicious debut, but one that's more likely to draw your attention to the band's future than to send you scattering for spare change to pick it up."[5] Ron Hart of CMJ New Music Report called it "a disjointed mindfuck of a rap album that aims to completely throw off your equilibrium."[3]
In 2015, it ranked at number 75 on Fact's "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[8]
