The Effigies were an important part of Chicago's seminal post-hardcore punk
scene, along with Big Black, Naked Raygun, and Strike Under. Their legacy
isn't as heralded as the former two, in part because they didn't push
so many boundaries, either thematically or stylistically. But that
assessment shortchanges the Effigies as a vital, intelligent, clearly
capable band, one that helped lay the groundwork for a Chicago
indie scene that would evolve and thrive for many years to come.
Their music was a well-executed, fully mature product of its influences
-- the D.C. hardcore of Minor Threat, the British post-punk of bands
like the Stranglers, Killing Joke...(AllMusicGuide)

Great Chicago hardcore in the vein of Naked Raygun; mid tempo hardcore,
intense & melodic; well-played and well-produced.
Original & diverse. [9]...(FLEX)
