The record was met with critical acclaim, and helped lend even further voice to the Detroit garage punk underground brought to mainstream success by The White Stripes two years prior. The record has an average score of 80/100 on Metacritic.[1] On the last track, after the three-minute silence following "Pawn Shoppe Heart", there's a hidden track: a cover of "Try a Little Tenderness", a song made popular by Otis Redding.

A shortened version of "C'mon C'mon" is the theme song for the American comedy-drama television show, Rescue Me. It is featured on the video games Burnout 3: Takedown and MVP Baseball 2004. The track "Mairead" is about Queens of Noize DJ Mairead Nash, who has been associated with Jason Stollsteimer. MLB Network uses a brief clip of "C'mon C'mon" as the opening of their show 30 Clubs in 30 Days. "C'mon C'mon" was also released as downloadable content for Rock Band and Rock Band 2 on March 31, 2009 for Xbox 360 and April 2, 2009 for PS3. This track became available as DLC for the Wii version of Rock Band 2 on April 7, 2009 for $2 (200 Wii Points).

gollark: Well, it's a shame there's no way to have some sort of controller system group together a bunch of floppies so they can be accessed as one peripheral.
gollark: Hmm.
gollark: How much data do OC floppies store? 1.44MB?
gollark: I don't know if the FS capabilities are good enough to replicate most unmanaged disk stuff using that, though.
gollark: Or, though this would perhaps be very inefficient, store your data as a single giant file on the disk and seek through it.
