Production and release


Following their prolific first year as a band, which saw the release of the viral Odd Future Sessions, an EP, two live albums, and their debut album BBNG, the group self-released their sophomore album on April 3, 2012.[6] The group made the album available for free download online.

The entire album was recorded in one ten hour recording session at Revolution Recordings in Toronto, with the group making a note that "no one above the age of 21 was involved in the making of this album."[6] The album included more original material than their first album as well as reworked versions of the previously released songs "Rotten Decay" and "Bastard/Lemonade." This album also contained two collaborative tracks, one featuring Luan Phung and the other with future band member Leland Whitty.


Reception


Main articles: BadBadNotGood § Reception, and BadBadNotGood § Style

This album received more mainstream coverage than any of the band's previous releases, including features in The Guardian's New Band of the Week and NPR's Song of the Day.[7][8][9] The album received positive critical reviews, with Prefix Mag calling the album a "decisive turning point" and Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop celebrating the band's new sounds and strong improvisations and solos, saying that they were "doing fantastic things for jazz;"[10][11] he gave the album a 9/10 review, his second-highest rated album of the year.[12]

This album also marked the first time the jazz community took notice of BadBadNotGood, with some taking offense of the group, resulting in a conversation between jazz critics on the band's right to play and call themselves jazz.[13]
