Faith No More recorded this in 1994 at Bearsville Studios in Bearsville, New York, their only album not made in California, with Andy Wallace co-producing. It is the first without longtime guitarist Jim Martin, with Trey Spruance on guitars, and it was written largely without keyboards after Roddy Bottum's absence. Rather than blending genres within songs as on Angel Dust, the band wrote songs in different genres. The artwork uses images from Eric Drooker's graphic novel Flood.
