Lead singer Dexter Holland decided to pick up a rhythm guitar for this one. Their recording sessions, which went through the first two months of 1994, would forge an album that, along with Music/GreenDay's breakthrough album ''Music/Dookie'', would finally bring punk rock to the mainstream in the United States.

Three singles were released to support the album: "Self Esteem", "Come Out and Play", and "Gotta Get Away". A fourth song, "Bad Habit", was only put on the radio. However, none were actually released commercially, and the rules for the Billboard Hot 100 at the time prevented them from charting. The three singles all hit the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, and were all Top 10 on the Mainstream Rock chart.
