Molotov's second proper album for the American market, Apocalypshit continues the bent on groove-laden hardcore with a bent for dark humor and social commentary. The sonic experimentalism from their first, Donde Jugaran Las Ni¤as?, is stated even more directly here, thanks in part to the presence of Beastie Boys associate Mario Caldato, Jr. on production, recording, and mixing. The grooves are much better than average, and the wildman Spanish vocals of Tito Fuentes give the album an added edge. Aside from Rage Against the Machine and a few others, there's so little music in this style worth its salt, making Apocalypshit an excellent adventure through post-grunge metal. ~ John Bush

Q (3/00, p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[Their] rap-metal lashes together social politics, sci-fi Moogs, loungey vibraphones and Latin rock....a warped, mescal-fueled fusion of Fun Lovin' Criminals and Red Hot Chili Peppers....a refreshingly melodic laid-back style."

Alternative Press (3/00, p.87) - 3 out of 5 - "...the group pump the exact same worst-of-both-worlds hybrid of hip hop and metal as those 2 monsters of corporate rock [Limp Bizkit and Rage Against The Machine]....for shallow, four-on-the-floor release, APOCALYPSHIT works."
