Lyrics

Bandmember Dan Barrett was quoted as saying, "The lyrics were written simultaneously with the songs, though I tend to work in scraps... I'm constantly writing, then culling pieces that I think fit the music to build entire songs around. At the time I had a job where I would have to be into work at 4:30 in the morning, alone in a giant building, at a desk in front of a giant window. I wrote reams and reams during that time."[5]

Reception and legacy

In the years following its release, the album gained a substantial cult following, especially in online music communities such as 4chan's /mu/, the website's imageboard for musical discussion.[6]

The opening track "A Quick One Before The Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" was sampled by American rapper Lil Peep on his song "Shiver", about which bandmember Tim Macuga remarked, “I recorded that guitar part in my bathtub and now it’s on the front page of Us Weekly for a rapper’s eulogy.”[7]
