Built to Last was the result of a year's work for Sick of It All, with pre-production beginning in late 1995/early 1996. The recording took place at Normandy Sound, in Warren, Rhode Island (where their first three albums had been recorded), and in two studios in California.[citation needed]
The Washington Post wrote that "the music and attitude are entirely predictable, but the 'hey-hey-heys' are rather charming."[9] Entertainment Weekly wrote that the band manages "to overcome the genre’s bark-and-lunge cliches simply because they’re so archetypal; these guys can actually make you feel the fury behind a song called 'Us Vs. Them'."[10]
"Jungle" ends at 2:54, with silence from 2:55 to 5:53; at 5:54, a voice says "Oh c'mon, hurry up, ya old hag." There is silence again from 5:58 to 6:59. A hidden song, sung in English and Spanish, starts at 7:00 (unofficially titled "Culo Cagado").
