Production
Primarily produced by Bruce Calder, the album was recorded in Seattle in the fall of 1994. Kevin Whitworth played slide guitar on some of the album's tracks. Critical reception

The Albuquerque Journal deemed Straight Freak Ticket "a good, solid, basic rock 'n' roll album." The Seattle Post-Intelligencer called it "a solid, well-produced album of guitar-based rock with catchy hooks and a strong dose of psychedelia." The Arizona Daily Star considered Straight Freak Ticket to be "an excellent album, boasting the spirit of out-of-control rock music focused with the precision of a big-budget recording." The Santa Fe New Mexican concluded: "If Nirvana was The Beatles of the Seattle Invasion, then Love Battery is somewhere between Gerry & The Pacemakers and Petula Clark." USA Today labeled the album "a psychedelic tour de force and dramatic leap forward,"  writing that "the antigrunge guitar riff-o-rama of Ron Nine and Kevin Whitworth propels the Seattle quartet's most adventurous and listenable tunes to date."
