Chaos Rules does not include any songs from either Soul Rotation or Not Richard, But Dick, as the group could not work out a deal with Hollywood Records, their former record label.[6]

Venue

The album was recorded at the Trocadero Theatre, in the band's hometown of Philadelphia.[7] The Trocadero also served as the venue for the Dead Milkmen's first reunion show, in 2004, performed in honor of their late bass player, Dave Schulthise.[8]

Critical reception

The album drew mixed to fair reviews. AllMusic wrote that the songs "document the group's prime period, even if these versions don't quite compare to the originals."[1]
