Album Notes: The album cover photo finds Adam Green looking spiffy, groomed, and downright hipster-ish, and the production on this fourth album is polished and sophisticated, boasting strings and noir-ish, lounge-y touches.

A large proportion of the film focuses on the harsh and inhumane training designed to dehumanize people and turn them into, with the help of the demoralising D.I (Lee Ermey), into indestructible killers for the benefit of the United States, men without fear.
