An interesting note about this album is that all of the songs were played with normal guitars and bass guitars in standard tuning. This is different from all of the other albums by the band, as they usually played with guitbasses and basitars, which are modified guitars with fewer strings that are tuned to Drop D flat tuning (i.e. tuned to Drop D, then tuned a semitone lower).

This album was re-released in 2004 on the band's own label, PUSA Inc. with bonus tracks that included demos of 8 of the 12 songs on the album, as well as 2 other songs, as Chris Ballew originally recorded them between 1989 and 1996.

Tab Book/DVD

In 2001, a tab book was released for the album that included a DVD of the entire album performed live.
