Finding it increasingly difficult for the entire band to congregate to perform or record, the album contains several older songs written between 1997 and 1998 and recorded during the winter of 2002. The liner notes make mention that "Some members of the group were not present at the recordings".

Critical reception

The Times wrote that "the Country Teasers' determined pursuit of needling, off-the-cuff unpleasantness eventually wheedles the listener, against their will, into something approaching a state of grace".[4] Chuck Eddy, in an article on "rant rock" for Spin, wrote admiringly that the album is a "belligerent pile of four-track crank catcalls".[5]
