Album title
Utilising a simple alphanumeric conversion from numbers to letters, i.e. 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, ..., 26=Z, the title can be interpreted as:
- 06 = F
- 21 = U
- 03 = C
- 11 = K
Which gives a full album title of Fuck Up Evil.
Critical reception
Trouser Press called the album "strong but not striking," and preferred 05:22:09:12 Off.[5] Entertainment Weekly called it "a tad ambitious," writing that "this aural exorcist is more gripping than previous efforts."[4]
