cover songs by bands such asthe Urinals ,Meat Puppets ,Blue Öyster Cult , andCreedence Clearwater Revival . It was released very shortly before the untimely death of D. Boon who also painted the cover. Watt collaborated with Black Flag bassistKira Roessler on three tracks ("No One", "Stories", and "What Is It?").
