The album was recorded in Brett Gurewitz's studio, in Hollywood, California.[10] It is the band's only album with drummer Roy Koutsky.[11]
The album's first track, "Bite the Wax Tadpole," refers to the legend that this is a Chinese transliteration of "Coca-Cola."[12]
Trouser Press wrote that the album "is a heady but largely inconsequential introduction; it’s all brute force and speed, grunge as a sheer sonic description."[13]
