Even though Dead n Buried is considered a Skull's on Parade classic, many of the band members have called the album a failure. The album was mixed while the band was on tour, and Chris Chandler didn't know what Skull's on Parade was about, and had mixed it without understanding the band's aesthetic. Johnny Brandybuck had called the album "a piece of shit" in a 2005 interview. Even with these comments, the album was voted the 91st best rock album in the "100 Greatest Rock Albums" poll by the Finnish radio station Radio Rock.
