According to the March, 1996 issue of Alternative Press, frontman Al Jourgensen gave his thoughts regarding the album:
I like it a lot better than The Mind. We wanted to push a little bit of a different style on there. In retrospect, that one came out real good. There are a couple of songs on there I think are fodder for whatever reasons. But it's certainly not as cohesive as Rape And Honey or Filth Pig.
Bassist Paul Barker added:
It was a very unfocused record. The amount of actual time we spent in a studio working on it reflected that. Our lives revolved around the studio. It was really fuckin' gross. Sonically, the world was creeping up on Ministry and we had to challenge not only ourselves but the whole genre, so to speak. We wanted to make a thick, fat-sounding record, maybe at the cost of songwriting. But one of my personal pleasures is listening to 'Just One Fix'. The way the guitars come in is so great!
