AllMusic[1]

The album boasts a more DIY sound than previous albums, having been partially recorded in Ocasek's home studio with Ocasek playing many of the instruments himself.[2] Musicians featured in his 1982 debut solo album, Beatitude were used on Nexterday, including fellow Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes, bassist Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains, drummer/programmer Stephen George and guitarist Roger Greenawalt.[3][4] "Silver" was Ocasek's musical tribute to Benjamin Orr. "Please Don't Let Me Down" references the title of the album, Nexterday.

Personnel
gollark: And God, who is omnipotent, can simply predict them anyway.
gollark: Well, random things don't imply that "you" choose anything or that you can't make good enough predictions.
gollark: God chose to create humans. They had exact knowledge of what the humans would do. QED.
gollark: And the empirical things which are vaguely related go the other way.
gollark: I mean, it seems like you'd either have to make wildly insane assumptions or... somehow empirically check.
