Recording, release, and reception

Sweet recorded the songs for Wicked System of Things in his Omaha home studio in early 2017. He discussed the prospect of collaborating with Cheap Trick members Rick Nielsen and Tom Petersson and wrote this music as an expression of his love of Midwest power pop,[1] but both musical acts were too busy to record together, so Sweet decided to put the songs to record himself and release it as a Record Store Day exclusive in 2018.[2] Sweet chose an apocalyptic title used by Jehovah's Witnesses and paintings of desolation, but the album content does not focus on dark themes.[1]

Writing in The Lincoln Journal-Star, L. Kent Wolgamott opined that this album "doesn’t feel like scraps thrown together to put something out" but that "it’s an album that’s as strong and cohesive as its predecessors, which are Sweet’s best work in at least a decade".[3]
