Production

Akin to past albums, the band recorded hours of rehearsals and then cut and pasted together musical passages to create songs. [9]

Critical reception

SF Weekly called the album "the band's most layered recording yet, with no shortage of keyboards, overdubs, vocal harmonies, and perplexing noises." [10] The East Bay Express wrote that "strange and ordinary instruments converge to make a blend of music that is at once identifiable but yet vastly different from anything you've ever heard before." [9] Portland Mercury wrote: "Stooges riffs clash with mechanical clicks; quivering melodies frame John Bonham-style percussion blasts, then melt Velveeta-smooth into cracked-out vocal asides." [11] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "an immense, haunting radiance erupts from [the band's] tortured instruments." [12]
