Goldenthal cites the score as one of his six stand-out soundtracks.[2] While creating the score in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles riots of 1992 were going on and he has noted that the wild and tempestuous atmosphere in the city was an influence on the score's dark and visceral sound.[3][4]
In 1995, the industrial band Front Line Assembly sampled the cue "Agnus Dei" on the track "Infra Red Combat" from the album Hard Wired.
In 2007 the UK dubstep artist Burial sampled the soundtrack in the first track of his album Untrue.[5]

Movie-wave.net said that most of the cues are quite "dissonant" and "bleak" for a casual movie score listener.[8] AllMusic described it as "...mandatory for all serious enthusiasts of film music."[1][9]
