Production

The album was recorded live in five days, in a Seattle studio.[8] Most of the material was written by Ben Shepherd, who switched from bass to guitar for the album.[9]

Critical reception

The Stranger called the album "a concise ripper that revitalizes garage rock without descending into kitsch."[10] Trouser Press called it "trivial and self-indulgent, unreleasable were it not for the stature of the participants."[11]
