It is the first album without then-former bassist Ron Blair on any tracks, as well as the first since ''Damn the Torpedoes (album), Damn the Torpedoes'' not produced by Jimmy Iovine.

It is published by the Oxford University Press and was described by ''The Times'' as "the standard against which all others must be judged".
