Transcription
Production
The album was produced by Steve Jordan.[5] The majority of it was recorded live on an A&M sound stage in Los Angeles, and finished in Cannon Falls.[6][7] The band decided to record what they felt like, rather than worry about a consistent style.[8] Soul Asylum spent so much time recording that they collected several outtakes.[9] "We 3" is about an eternal triangle.[10] "Nice Guys (Don't Get Paid)" is about drug dealing.[11]

The Windsor Star wrote that "'Gullible's Travels' is one of the best half-dozen rock tracks of the year."[18] The Vancouver Sun determined that Soul Asylum "have channelled their hardcore angst and drunkards-on-skateboards mentality into some of the freshest and most melodic songwriting around."[17]
The Dallas Morning News stated that the band "maintains its tradition of combining tightly flexed funk rhythms, sharp melodies, raggedly tuneful guitars and rough, passionate vocals."[19] The Richmond Times-Dispatch noted that "All the King's Friends" "impressively welds a '60s-sounding rock melody to an almost speed-metal structure."[20]
