Several songs on the album were released on singles in 1993. The title track was featured as a B-side to the non-LP single "Caesar's Vein", with "Easter Bunny" being released as the follow-up single. The track "Blue Above the Rooftops" was released as a single to support the album in 1994. The track "Home Sick" is only featured on the American release of the album and elsewhere was used as a B-side. The B-side "Green Bed" from the "Caesar's Vein" EP also likely comes from the album sessions.
Critical reception
Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, called the album "stronger, more focussed, certainly brighter and cleaner" than the debut.[5]

gollark: It does not look fine. Two consecutive lines are differently indented, there's an async IIFE there with one line in it, and it's generally weird and inconsistent.
gollark: It has automatic semicolon insertion. If you are missing some and your code doesn't work it's probably horribly formatted somehow.
gollark: Anyway, it seems like your code is horribly accursed. I would bet nothing whatsoever it's a scope issue - you're trying to use commands outside of where it's defined. It would help if you posted all the code.
gollark: Semicolons are optional in JS.
gollark: It is generally fairly evil, yes.
