Track listing
Reception ''You Can't Spell Slaughter Without Laughter'' was panned by most music critics. The album received a 0.5 rating out of five from ''Slant'' reviewer Nate Adams, who said "It's high in the running for worst album of the year ... The music aims for brutality and melody, but misses the mark entirely on both counts." ''Alternative Press'' reviewer Phil Freeman also gave the album a half star out of five, remarking that the album "truly fails because it has exactly zero memorable moments".In a mixed review, John Lucas of the ''Georgia Straight'' said that the album "seems designed to test the listener’s tolerance", but that "those willing to embrace a noisy, ambitious, self-indulgent, and downright weird record will find a lot to love". Logan Broger of ''ChartAttack'' gave it three stars out of five, saying, "When the grind-electro-hardcore-pop duo aren't being obnoxious or comedic, there are some tunes that are actually really, really brilliant."
