==Recording== After the Dopes to Infinity tour, Dave Wyndorf flew to Las Vegas to work on the group's next album. He got a hotel room outside the city, where he would write one song a day for twenty-one days. Most of the songs were based on the themes of Las Vegas, such as naked women and people losing their money. The song "Tractor" is a re-recorded version of the song originally released on the band's 1990 EP Monster Magnet.
