Overview

This time around, Gwar manages to steal a Scumdog ship and prepares to finally leave Earth; however, Cardinal Syn returns and plans an attack. Gwar then seeks the help of Zog, an old Scumdog commander who trained Oderus, to help them. However, it turns out that he's become nothing but old and homeless. Gwar eventually sets everything straight and leave Earth, promising to stop on tour, and keep us all up to date on their activities.

The album also introduces a new Destructo, Sawborg, who wields a sawblade arm and has another sawblade sticking out of his head. He is not mentioned on the album, except briefly in "Gwarnography".

In an interview with Ultimate-Guitar, Cory Smoot (Flattus Maximus) revealed that he played all the instruments on "Release the Flies", as it was originally a song he wrote for his solo project.[5]

Personnel
gollark: But what the people want is *to some extent* what gets produced, because if you don't produce things people want they won't buy it.
gollark: And the money can act as a decent signalling mechanism that you actually want something, like on Kickstarter and whatnot.
gollark: And anything which people (with money, but that's lots of them) *want* can generate money.
gollark: I think they're attempting to introduce lower-priced options because of the general decline of the phone market.
gollark: They do need to innovate and I think have been attempting to a bit.
