Much of the album is characterized by the pop-punk music and humorous lyrics for which the band is known. Although regular Vandals drummer
Josh Freese is credited as a band member and appears in band photos in the album's liner notes, he was unavailable to play on the album due to other musical commitments. The band therefore called on regular substitute
Brooks Wackerman, who had filled in for Freese on several occasions as a touring drummer. Wackerman himself is an accomplished drummer who would join
Bad Religion the following year. The album also features guest appearances by
Dexter Holland of
The Offspring (who also co-wrote "Jackass"),
Jack Black and
Kyle Gass of
Tenacious D, musician/actor/screenwriter
Scott Aukerman, and members of the
New Jersey band
Bigwig. ==Release==
