Musically, the album marked a shift to a style more influenced by electronic and dance music than Curve's earlier records. Significantly, the commercial success of and critical acclaim for Come Clean (at least relative to the reception that the group's harsher and less accessible 1993 record Cuckoo had received) encouraged Curve to continue recording.
The working title for the album was, according to several interviews executed in 1996: Magic Music Medicine. In the fall of 1997 the bands American record company circulated a promo cassette titled Curve: Unmixed, Unmastered And Not Sequenced, which featured 12 of the songs from Come Clean. The tape had the tracks appearing in a different running order and some of them appeared in different versions.

Music
Chris Ott of Pitchfork noted the album's "danceable drum loops" and "blurry, detached" vocals, and its influence from trip hop band Portishead and the "ascendant club-techno" sound of The Chemical Brothers. The album forgoes the "sexual intensity" and "icey shoegaze guitars" of the band's previous albums.
