Six Demon Bag is the second album by experimental rock group Man Man, known mainly for their carnivalesque sound and well-received live shows. It received generally favorable reviews and calculated a score of 79 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 17 reviews.[8]
Honus Honus discussed the differences between this album and their first album:
I feel like the first album had a lot of the same emotions going on but the rough production value kind of obscured the sentiments. I can't even hear half the lyrics I'm singing on the first record. It's a bit of a charm but at the same time it makes for a difficult listening experience. I won't go into exact details but the period of my life in which Van Helsing Boombox was written is definitely not making any highlight reel. Dark days.

The album was placed on Obscure Sound's list of the best albums of 2006 at number 34[9] and Pitchfork's list of the top 50 albums of 2006 at number 20.[10]
Pitchfork Media also listed the song "Van Helsing Boombox" as the 350th best song of the 2000s.
A music video for "Engrish Bwudd" was directed by Lindsay Kovnat, and was featured on the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival in 2006.
Man Man planned a tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the album's release in 2016 during which they played it start to finish.[11]
