Despite its status as a debut release on an independent record label, the album sold in excess of 8,000 copies in the first two months following its release, during which the band toured briefly to promote their debut. In 1995, due to the sustained cult status of the band among many collectors, Graydot Records re-mastered and re-released the album with a collection of additional bonus tracks, including some of the band's early demos.

The title of the album is a reference to Billy Pilgrim's epitaph in Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five.
