The album is the band's first where Dennis Lyxzén uses screamed vocals as opposed to the shouting vocals he used on the debut This Just Might Be... the Truth and features several metal influences.[3] The techniques, motives and musical ideas found on this album in their rudimentary form developed into what was heard on their next album, The Shape of Punk to Come. The name of the album is taken from an early edition of the Little Red Songbook published by a committee of Spokane, Washington locals of the Industrial Workers of the World in 1909,[5][6] which included songs by Sweden-born IWW activist Joe Hill.
