Though Ian Williams is credited on guitar for this album, he only joined the band shortly before For Respect's recording and had little substantial creative influence. As a result, this album is much less orchestrated and complex than Don Caballero's later work. In a 2006 interview with the e-zine Space City Rock, Damon Che revealed that he played guitar on some Don Caballero songs, including the choruses of "Well Built Road".

SCTV

The album contains several allusions and references to the Canadian sketch comedy show Second City Television :

Trouser Press wrote: "Dynamic, driving, distorted and entirely free of indulgent improvisation, the eleven tracks — from the Melvins-like title cut to the ambling spareness of 'Subdued Confections' and the frenzied vectors of 'Belted Sweater' — underscore the value of talent in producing rugged instrumental music that’s really saying something."
