All songs written by Municipal Waste. Tracks 16 & 17 are bonus tracks on the limited edition version of the album. The track "Mental Shock" is subtitled "(Death Ripper Part II)" in the liner notes, and is presumably a continuation of the song "Death Ripper" from Hazardous Mutation. "Born to Party" is a rerecorded version of the song that appeared on an early split 7", and is probably intentionally 4:20 long. Much like the previous two Municipal Waste albums, the last song (on the regular version), "Born to Party", contains a joke hidden track after a period of silence; a recording of the band performing a song in a radically different genre from the rest of their output.

The cover is a visual representation of the song Chemically Altered.

The band released a video for "Headbanger Face Rip," which was filmed with independent b-movie house, Troma Entertainment. The video features footage from Troma Films, including The Toxic Avenger and its sequels.
