  ## Recording
  
  Frontman Dave McCormack later said, "To have the opportunity to go to San Francisco and record with Eric Drew Feldman in Hyde St Studios – where Creedence had recorded and Green Day were recording – that was massive. We were there for months. It was very premium, professional, proper band stuff. We landed on the 4th of July, 1995 and went straight to the supermarket. You could buy booze at the supermarket. It was a huge culture shock. The cheese was orange and the butter was white."
  
  ## Reception
  
  Rolling Stone Australia said, "Songs like 'Apartment' and 'Sunset Strip' have been fashioned with melody, imagination and undeniable craft and Eric Drew Feldman's production comes close to capturing the skill and energy of Custard live. Custard aren't about to stop making you smile, but that doesn't mean they're not serious."
