The album was produced by Michael Douglass. It was recorded at A&M Studios, in Hollywood, California. Down by Law was in the studio at the same time as the Rolling Stones; the Stones allegedly complained about the volume of the band's punk rock. ==Critical reception==

The Chicago Reader labeled the album "punk as pabulum," and considered the band an "alternative-rock Raffi." The Boston Herald opined: "Fast and loud, yet marvelously melodic, Down By Law takes punk to a new level and proves it can be more than just angry noise." AllMusic called the album "a solid, polished album of raw punk rock." ==Track listing==
