Steve Fisk recalled that during the recording process the band faced him and Sam Albright in the studio as if it was a live show.[5] In his 2020 memoir, Mark Lanegan stated that the song 'Pictures in My Mind' was the first Screaming Trees song that he wrote with Gary Lee Conner in the Conner's house in Ellensburg, Washington.[6]
