It's a simple record that I don't think has aged particularly well in terms of mix and production, but there are some songs on there like 'Deadhead' and 'Sunday Afternoon' etc that are really strong to this day IMO.

I then auditioned a few drummers until I came across Ryan Van Poederooyen, who was in a local band that people were very complimentary of in terms of the drums. I hired Mike and Dave Young, who were in their early 20s at a music store I frequented. I naively put together a group of unknown local musicians with an arrogant need to prove that 'anybody who was decent could make a great band'.

The album was written and recorded at the same time as, and in emotional opposition to, Strapping Young Lad's, with Townsend dividing his energy between the two.
