A music video for the song "Dick Johnson" was directed by Jim Spring and Jens Jurgensen.

Critical reception edit

Nick Robinson, reviewer of British music newspaper Music Week, noticed that the listeners can find "beneath the clattering rhythms and chunky guitars" "some heady melodies that aching to break free" and if they will be able to "endure the racket", they will discover "some rough diamonds that are quite irresistible."[6] Janiss Garza of Cashbox called album "group’s most accessible record to date" and admitted "that this blend of obscure alternative noise and occasional Stones-through-a-fishbowl stylings totally and utterly confuses" but she liked it.[7]

Track listing edit

All lyrics are written by Jon Spencer, except 10 by Kurt Wolf and 15 by Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald V. Casale; all music is composed by Pussy Galore, except 15 (Mothersbaugh/Casale)
