The band worked with Soundgarden producer Michael Beinhorn and created a generally dark, sonically textured grunge-pop album.

The lead single "Hero" received sporadic airplay on alternative rock radio and its video was in rotation on MTV2 in late summer 1999.

Throughout the album, primary songwriter and singer Brian Vander Ark comments on the fleeting nature of fame with tracks such as "Supergig" and "Headlines".

The album's cover features a diagram for frog dissection, with the song titles used as references to various body parts.

With the Nu metal stylings of Limp Bizkit and Korn dominating rock radio airwaves, "Hero" failed to connect with a mass audience.
