Overview
The song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" became the band's first hit single, after having appeared the previous year in different form in the American movie S.F.W.. Other tracks, such as the title track and "Dead Christmas" however, received little or no airplay, resulting in sales of the album being only slightly better than their previous album, Superjudge. The album did reach #51 on the UK Charts and #30 in the German Charts.[2]
A shorter version of the song "Look to Your Orb for the Warning" appears in the soundtrack of the film The Matrix.
A music video was made for the song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead".
