\nSaid American Aftermath in a 9\/10 review of the record: \u201cThis self produced record is raw and visceral and will absolutely rip you apart limb from limb\u2026 Within the five year gap between Centralia and w^w^^w^w, CAR BOMB have perfected their craft and song writing abilities to create an album that quite literally \u2018kicks ass.\u2019\u201d Adds Sputnik Music in a 4\/5 rating: \u201cThis album is supposed to confuse and irritate your senses, be both brutal and yet coherent enough to call it mathcore, all for you to listen to it. Naming this album w^w^^w^w is proof enough of the sensibilities of Car Bomb and the type or record you\u2019ll be getting yourself into. The experience however, is an immensely enjoyable one. Mathcore soaked in sludge is a potent combination that may not be groundbreaking but when done right the way like Car Bomb has here, is highly addictive. Wicked Channel agrees: \u201cThis self-produced record is raw, full of hard hitting power chords and a rhythm section that can do that stop and start rhythms without warning. This is not your run of the mill progressive metal or thrash band, this is something truly unique that really has this power that will grab you within seconds, and not let you go till the record ends. This is a violent fuck you burst of middle finger that we desperately need in metal these days\u2026 If Refused claimed they were the shape of punk to come, this is the shape of hardcore to come.\u201d

\nOften referred to as \u201cdouble-u click double-u\u201d for short, w^w^^w^w is clearly CAR BOMB\u2019s most ambitious and diverse offering to date. Each track displays the typical chaotic timing that is signature CAR BOMB, yet expresses a clear thematic differentiation to make it its own. Comments guitarist Greg Kubacki, \u201cmost people will hear just random noise when listening to this record, but to us it\u2019s all really simple ideas. We\u2019re fascinated by the book Godel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstadter and we try to make music that is recursive. We try to establish certain themes and then shape and reuse them in different ways to create songs that have common threads within them. Patterns repeat, but not in ways you\u2019d expect. This process creates songs that fans can grasp in one way but maybe can\u2019t grasp in another, and all the time they are swallowing you into a hypnotic and infinite vortex. The influence of M.C. Escher\u2019s (the \u201cEscher\u201d in Godel, Escher, Bach) is also evident in the w^w^^w^w cover artwork which is simply a nauseating spiral of small repeated patterns.”
