Production

The bands recorded the album after a joint 1998 tour of America.^[6] They embarked on a second joint tour, in 2000, to support the album.^[7]

"Andy" is about former Leatherface bass player Andy Crighton, who had committed suicide before the band reformed.^[2]

Critical reception

Trouser Press called "Andy" "a blistering return," writing that Leatherface's half of the album "picks up where The Last left off, obliterating the five-year gap between studio recordings."^[8]
