This was also the first Suicidal Tendencies album to display funk influences, which can be attributed to the input of then-new bassist Robert Trujillo.

[citation needed] The album cover was taken at the Vista Theatre located at 4473 Sunset Drive in Los Feliz.

The video for "You Can't Bring Me Down" received much MTV airplay, and was largely responsible for the success of this album.

It was also nominated for the "Best Metal Performance" Grammy Award in 1991, losing to "Stone Cold Crazy" by Metallica, whom Trujillo would join in 2003.
