It marked a departure from his previous album, Something/Anything?

By 1976, the group was known simply as Utopia and featured a stable quartet of Rundgren, Kasim Sulton, Roger Powell and John "Willie" Wilcox. This version of the group gradually abandoned progressive rock for more straightforward rock and pop.

It became one of XTC's best-known albums and is generally regarded as their finest work.
