The band offered the song "River City" to George W. Bush's 2000 presidential campaign, feeling that its chorus of "I want to rape the U.S.A." was appropriate.

Critical reception
Steve Huey of Allmusic gave the album a 3-star rating, commenting on its departure into "catchy, garagey punk-pop tunes with jackhammer electronic beats", and calling it "one of their most intriguing albums". Matt Le May of Pitchfork Media rated the album at 6.0 out of 10, describing the album as "trite, overused guitar progressions, incompetent pentatonic solos, and seriously fucked-up lyrics", but going on to say that "interesting sounds do occasionally pop up", and crediting the band for fully embracing "the role of fucked-up punk rockers".
