Reception
Aiding & Abetting praised Apparatus for their aggressive sound, saying the band "has put together a wild ride that massages both the club folks and metal freaks."[3] Alternative Press also gave Apparatus a positive review, saying it "emulates the sound of rage."[4] A critic at Black Monday commended the band for their originality and placed the album at their top five albums of the year.[5] Fabryka Music Magazine gave the album three out of four possible stars and said "this album deserves a purchase not only by coldwave style lovers but also by many bands in today's crisis of identity."[2] Sonic Boom gave the album a somewhat mixed review but commended the musical programming and said "I definitely found myself wondering why there weren't twice as many tracks on the album because surely the band has the talent for that many original tracks."[6]
