This is the only record that was completely remixed (by Jack Endino) from the ground up, and the results are remarkable. Fist Sized Chunks was originally the band's least favourite release; it was recorded at a time when the band was going through internal turmoil, on the heels of a national tour dubbed “The Tour from Hell”. The recordings were rough, angry and caustic, and reflected a dark place that can only come from bitterness and angst. Interestingly, the record was very well received, but the band was never happy with the muddled sludgy sound, nor the memories that it resurrected. Twenty years however gives a long time to reflect, and although Endino described the process of digging deep into this dark place in the band's history as “painful and difficult,” this is effectively a new record. It reveals whole new layers in the songs and shines a new light on what is now one of the band's favourite records.
