It was released in the United Kingdom in 1993 by Polydor Records and was the band's final studio album for that label.

Friesen contributed to the songwriting and was a major part of the new sound presented on this album, introducing a heavier, riff-based grunge sound compared to the punk leanings of earlier efforts.

The album was re-released in the United Kingdom and later in Japan with a bonus disc which contained a live show from August 22, 1992 at Donington Park.

An EP that was released in Japan only includes four live track from the band's 1993 European tour supporting Iron Maiden.
