Additional information
This is the band's first full-length release in 13 years; the last LP, Linger Ficken' Good, was issued in 1993. The LP's original working title was "Purple Head" and was originally due in 2004. "Caliente (Dark Entries)," a cover of sorts of "Dark Entries" by Bauhaus, with vocalist Gibby Haynes, was featured on the soundtrack to Saw II in 2005. A new track, "RevColution Medley", has displaced "Fire Engine" as the first track from the promo on the album, moving it to track 5.
Oddly enough, the same two members of Cheap Trick also appear on Cocked & Loaded by L.A. Guns.
The song "Revolting Cock au Lait" (appeared in the Retail Version of the album) is a mishmash of many songs considered hard rock classics. The intro uses the sampled "stomp-clap" from Queen's "We Will Rock You" and in the middle there is a simultaneous mashup parodying both the chorus from Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" and Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song", alluding topics like masturbation ("We don't need some masturbation... aaaaah... You fuck yourself! We don't need no cock control... aaaah... You fuck yourself!") and child sexual abuse by priests ("Preachers... Leave those kids alone!"). At one point a transposed version of the guitar solo from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" can be heard. Also, the melody used for this song (chords and compases) are based on Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze". "RevColution Medley" is a shorter version of "Revolting Cock au Lait", before the parody of this Pink Floyd song.
