In a 2013 interview, singer Jacoby Shaddix reflected "our first releases were embarrassing, you know if we go back and listen to the first P-Roach recordings, we sound like a cross between Mr. Bungle, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Primus. You know, that whole '90s scene that was funky and freaky - I even wore panty hose on my head."[1]
Re-release
The album was re-released on April 8, 2003, and is available digitally online and was once available at some FYE stores sold as "used". However, the band did not authorize its re-release.
