The album was an attempt by the band to establish a more serious musical stance, more than just the hair metal party dynamic of 1988's Open Up and Say... Ahh!.[3] It spawned two top 10 singles, "Unskinny Bop" and "Something to Believe In" and three other hit singles, "Ride the Wind", "Life Goes On", and "(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice".[10]
It was certified Platinum in 1990 and triple Platinum in 1991 by the RIAA.[11] It has been certified 4× Platinum by CAN and Gold by BPI.
