Bassist Mike Dirnt stated that the album is what Green Day would sound like if they were still with Lookout! Records today. It's not entirely true, seeing as the demos sound sonically better than most indie-act records. Apart from that, the fun that the band is having is made very apparent giving the songs a life that seemed all too absent from the finished products. The songs are rough around the edges, occasionally sloppy and unrefined but that's what makes them come alive. Instead of striving for commercial studio perfection, you can hear the boys are just in it for the pure rock & roll.
