The album was a commercial success and helped establish the band as one of the leading acts of the post-punk era. The Physical's music is characterized by its driving rhythms, catchy melodies, and Loder's distinctive vocals. The band's lyrics often explore themes of alienation, identity, and the human condition.

Throughout their career, The Physical has released several more albums, including "The Physical II" (1982), "The Physical III" (1983), and "The Physical IV" (1984).
