Bass guitarist Sean Yeaton and drummer Max Savage were largely absent from the recording process for Content Nausea, due to Yeaton starting a family and Savage focusing on a mathematics degree.[1]
The album was recorded, mixed and mastered in less than two weeks, on a four-track cassette, by vocalists and guitarists Andrew Savage and Austin Brown.[1]

In a positive review for Pitchfork, Mike Powell wrote: "Nausea is easier to listen to than Sunbathing Animal in part because it seems less ambitious. Four of its tracks are around a minute long; one is a so-so cover of "These Boots are Made For Walkin’" (itself a punk staple as ubiquitous as the safety pin); one is basically spoken word over noise—a reminder that for all the band’s nervous intensity, they’re basically bookworms."[8]
