The album was never properly mixed due to the band running out of money while recording it.

Although loved by hardcore fans, Brendan Kelly has stated that this is his least favorite Lawrence Arms album, calling it "a terrible representation of our band."

They used the title of this song to be the name of their live tenth anniversary show DVD, released on Fat Wreck Chords.

"Someday We're All Gonna Weigh 400 Ibs" is about technology taking over human interaction, written from a satirical viewpoint.

"The Northside, the L&L, and Any Number of Crappy Apartments" mentions the L&L Tavern in its title, which is a bar located in Chicago.

"Eighteen Inches" is an introspective anthem about the harsh winters in Chicago, and the hypocrisy of pontification.
