Composition

Get It On was recorded in the summer of 1993 at Trees Dallas. The first two songs on Get It On are derived from the band's debut album Bill, whilst "It's Safe, It's Social" and the title track are new, original songs. The album's final song is a cover of Bad Religion's "We're Only Gonna Die".^[1] Get It On was described as featuring a "harder rocking" sound in contrast to that of Bill.^[3]

Get It On received mixed reviews from critics. Allmusic awarded the EP two stars out of five.^[4] Trouser Press criticized the EP's title track as "a maddening novelty number in which [Tim] DeLaughter blurts the title over and over with barely a pause for breath."^[3] Alternatively, Cashbox's Troy J. Augusto praised the EP as "fun filler", and believed that the release "shows further growth from this promising pop-punk quartet".^[5]

Tripping Daisy were unhappy with Island's decision to release Get It On, citing its poor quality; Tim DeLaughter commented in 1998 that the band's performance at Trees "wasn't the best show to do [a live album] on".^[6] By September 1995, Get It On had sold 4,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.^[2]
