Several songs made it onto Death Rides a Pale Cow (A Collection) , a greatest hits release from the band.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote: "Typical of the uninspired banality, the final track, 'Big Deal', opens with 'Life sucks then you die / And your soul gets sucked into the sky.' Meanwhile, your records go to the cutout bins." [10] The A.V. Club called the album "justly forgotten." [11]
