Critical reception
The Los Angeles Times wrote that singer "[Trever] Keith dwells on his inner struggles in self-questioning songs that focus on the gap between idealistic aspirations and flawed, frustrating realities."[5]

The '*' marks indicate that it's a bonus track. Those songs were featured on the 1995 re-release as bonus tracks. The original pressing had just the first eleven tracks. The twelfth track is sometimes referred to as "Untitled" or "Song 12", but is actually titled as blank. The track features a conversation about re-recording "Disconnected", which originally appeared on their first album Don't Turn Away and would be the following track on this album, because no one could "hear a single" until KROQ-FM first played it. However, the track is not featured on the track listing from the back cover of the album. Rock poster artist Jim Evans (T.A.Z.), worked closely with the band to create the unique album art featuring the "Big Choice" game machine.
