The cover of the album is a close up of a child (possibly Gene himself) holding a frog.

Alternate versions of the cover crop the image so only the frog and the child's hand can be seen Instruments include Synsonic Drums, Korg Poly-800, piano, and reel-to-reel.

Long time friend of Gene Ween, Scott Lowe, assisted in production of the album, adding effects to some of the songs.

Credited as Synthetic Sox (not "Socks" as in the album title), three of the TeenBeat tracks; Tree, Sea of Mellichis and Investigating Tornadoes, were released on vinyl as part of Shadow Mouth: Compilation One, released on the Shadow Mouth Record label based in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

Other examples of this effect happening in Ween's discography are on "I Play It Off Legit" and "Flies On My Dick".
