Trouser Press wrote: "SY drummer Steve Shelley produced and released the album on his own label, and his group's guitar sound and song structures clearly inform Blonde Redhead‘s eight songs, which include both warped pop nuggets ('Sciuri Sciura') and trippy guitar forays ('I Don’t Want U')." [5]
All tracks are written by Kazu Makino, Amedeo Pace and Simone Pace

Blonde Redhead
Additional personnel
Blonde Redhead is an American alternative rock band composed of Kazu Makino and identical twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace that formed in New York City in 1993. The band's earliest albums were noted for their noise rock influences, though their sound evolved by the early 2000s with the releases of Misery is a Butterfly (2004) and 23 (2007), which both incorporated elements of dream pop, shoegaze and other genres. They have released ten studio albums and have toured internationally.
"Smells Like Nirvana" is a song parody written and performed by American musician "Weird Al" Yankovic. A parody of Nirvana's song "Smells Like Teen Spirit", it was released as the lead single from Yankovic's Off the Deep End album in April 1992. "Smells Like Nirvana" was written during a three-year career low for Yankovic after the financial failure of his film UHF, but captured the quickly-rising popularity of grunge and Nirvana's success. The song was written to ridicule the fact that many people could hardly understand Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain's lyrics in the original song. After being unable to contact Nirvana conventionally, Yankovic called Cobain while the band was on the set of Saturday Night Live, where Cobain quickly gave permission to record the parody.
Mystical Shit is the third studio album by experimental music band King Missile, released in 1990 by Shimmy Disc.

The album was first issued on vinyl record in 1990 and was later included on the compilation album Mystical Shit & Fluting on the Hump.
