'' is the second full length release from the
Punk Rock band
Against Me! . It is their debut release for
Fat Wreck Chords . The decision made to jump from
No Idea Records to Fat Wreck caused the band to alienate some fans, many of whom accused the band of "selling out" and losing their
DIY ethics. This release was also characterized by controversy due to its production; some regarded it as sterile, polished, and uncomplimentary to otherwise good songs. In terms of songwriting, Gabel himself (the key songwriter on this record) has described it as being "more punk" than previous efforts. In addition, the song structure shows a move away from the large, anthemic choruses that drove much of the previous LP.
On this recording, and every recording since, Against Me! is Tom Gabel, Warren Oakes, James Bowman, and Andrew Seward.
