Because Beefheart's label Buddah Records didn't like the album Beefheart was forced to sign a contract with another label, Blue Thumb. He and his band re-recorded their songs, while producer Bob Krasnow added a PsychedelicRock sound.

After the album failed to sell well Beefheart blamed it on ExecutiveMeddling on behalf of Krasnow.

* {{Blues}}: Like most of Beefheart's albums it starts off with blues music, but then it changes into bizarre territories.
* CallOnMe: "Call On Me".
* CreatorThumbprint: Vliet was said to have enjoyed candy a lot, which led to the writing of "Kandy Korn".

* TheParody: "Beatle Bones 'N' Smokin' Stones" is a parody of ''Strawberry Fields Forever'' by Music/TheBeatles from ''Music/MagicalMysteryTour''. Music/JohnLennon, a fan of ''Music/SafeAsMilk'', heard this song and wasn't amused.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Kandy Korn" instead of "candy corn".
* StockSoundEffects: Near the end of "Ah Feel Like Ahcid" heart beats can be heard.
* TakeThat: "Beatle Bones N' Smokin' Stones" was said to have been written in reaction to Music/TheBeatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "A Day In The Life", because Beefheart didn't like the line "I'd love to turn you on" as he thought it was vulgar of them to say it in a song.
