 "Cyborgs" quickly came to be regarded as a lost classic of Canadian music, being named one of the greatest Canadian albums of all time by the magazines "Chart", "Forced Exposure", "Pop Matters" and "Alternative Press", as well as appearing as the 36th best Canadian album in Bob Mersereau's 2007 book "The Top 100 Canadian Albums".The need to capture the band's unconventional sonics has also been credited as one of the first catalysts for the development of Daniel Lanois' distinctive production style, which would eventually make him one of the most influential record producers in the world.
