Writing and recording

The band has said that the album was written "from the rhythm up instead of from the riff and the lyrics down" and has also stated that it's the quickest album they recorded.[7] As singer and rhythm guitarist Mark Arm has said "The effect is to thrust out the bottom-end rumble of drummer Dan Peters and bassist Guy Maddison, and to bring about a cohesive whole not entirely ruled by the almighty riff—although you certainly don’t have to look hard to find ‘em."[8] Rather spontaneously, the veterans recorded the eleven songs found on the record in only three and a half days, including overdubs.[9] The ninth track on the album is titled "Tales of Terror"[10] in honor of the Sacramento hardcore punk band Tales of Terror that influenced and inspired the grunge movement.
