Displaying more of a hard rock influence than its predecessor, 1991's Shakespeare My Butt, the album was poorly received by fans and critics. The band was also riven by significant internal tensions, and broke up barely a few months after Hallucigenia's release. The band subsequently reunited in 2000.

"City Full of Cowards" was released as a CD single, with the non-album B-sides "Bit" and "Crying Like a Postcard". "Motel 30" was released as a CD single, with the non-album B-side "The Unbearable Lightness of Jean". "Gamble" was the album's other main single, with the album track "Night of the Living Assholes" as its B-side.

Art Bergmann appears as a guest musician on "Beer, Graffiti Walls". He is the subject of the song "Life Imitates Art" (his name being Art). He is also referenced in the lyrics to "Pistol", along with Joe Strummer, Black Flag and Billy Bragg.
