Production


The album was produced by Jack Endino.[4]


Critical reception


Trouser Press wrote: "Typically gauzy Jack Endino production instantly brands Up in It as a Sub Pop issue. While the increased volume follows suit, the Whigs still wax more lyrical than their thrash’n’burn label contemporaries."[10] The New Rolling Stone Album Guide wrote that "thudding production hides the band's latent smarts in sludge."[5] The Dallas Observer deemed the album "the first indication grunge could be created in a vacuum (i.e., Cincinnati) by four isolated 20-year-olds just as potently as if it were manufactured by a whole slew of Mark Arms."[11]
