Recording and release


It saw the return of "Uncle Punchy" Lawrence Packer to the production of the album and a return to Uncle Punchy Studios in Silver Spring, Maryland. It is the band's best-selling album in the US, at over 138,730 copies to date.[2] The album gets regular live coverage still, with at least half the track list making their live performances on a regular basis, well over 20 years later.[3]


Background


This album captures the band's MO of trying out new styles and genres, with a definable mix of funk metal in the songs this time around. The album is considered to be the point where the band had begun to evolve their stoner and blues rock know-how. The record also keeps with their punk metal credentials, containing some heavier tracks.[4][5] The album is considered a staple of the 1990s stoner rock genre.[6] The album features some of their more 'spacey' pieces such as "Big News", "Escape from the Prison Planet", "I Have the Body of John Wilkes Booth", and "Spacegrass".
