It is part two of the Mole Trilogy. Rather than forwarding the story of the battle between the Mole People and the Chubs, the record's concept is to display the differences between the two cultures through their music. The music of the Chubs is light cocktail jazz, while that of the Moles tends toward industrial hymns. A major feature of this album is that it was one of the first to use the E-mu Emulator, one of the earliest commercial digital samplers. The Chub track "Mousetrap" bears a noticeable resemblance to Stan Kenton's "Eager Beaver." In one 1998 interview, band spokesman Homer Flynn acknowledged that the band listened to jazz big band artists including Kenton, as well as Charles Mingus and Sun Ra.[2] Track listing{{Tracklist|total_length = 39:50 |title1 = Serenade for Missy |length1 = 3:16 |title2 = A Maze of Jigsaws |length2 = 2:52 |title3 = Mousetrap |length3 = 3:32 |title4 = God of Darkness |length4 = 3:18 |title5 = Smack Your Lips (Clap Your Teeth) |length5 = 3:59 |title6 = Praise for the Curse |length6 = 2:52 |title7 = The Secret Seed |length7 = 2:47 |title8 = Smokebeams |length8 = 2:43 |title9 = Mourning the Undead |length9 = 3:05 |title10 = Song of the Wild |length10 = 3:24 |title11 = The Evil Disposer |length11 = 3:16 |title12 = Happy Home |length12 = 4:46 }}
