-The album is very different and a lot more experimental than the band's other work. It consists of eighteen mostly short tracks. Instead of conventional lyrics, singer Linder provides a selection of cries, yells, laughter and spoken interludes (including diary records of Reichian therapy), and one very short a track sung a capella, while the music seems to be deliberately kicking against the slick pop that dominated charts at the time. The LP has been described by guitarist Ian Devine as a therapeutic exercise, and by Linder as a "personal exorcism".
