AllMusic | [4] |
The Japanese experimental band Boris took their name from Bullhead's first track.[6]
The Richmond Times-Dispatch wrote that "the spare, chugging intensity of this three-piece Seattle noise unit continues to amaze."[7]
In 2017, Rolling Stone listed the album at No. 60 on their list of "100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time". They felt that it announced the Melvins as a metal band, citing lengthier songs, a more precise feel and "not so fried" production as reasons. The magazine also felt "Your Blessened"'s "optimistic churn" set the way for future metal bands Baroness and Torche.[8]
