Production edit

The album was produced by Kurt Bloch.[7] The band recorded the album twice, releasing the rerecorded version after Interscope refused to put out the original one.[7]

Critical reception edit

The Guardian thought that "all of its songs sound like they're being played on the back of a speeding Harley Davidson on its way to ramraid the neighbourhood drugstore."[8]
