AllMusic [1]

The album was more experimental in tone, reflecting years of writing music for theatre, and with a darker tone due to the band's recent bereavements. Most of the songs were assembled in the studio and not performed live.[2]

The album contains ten songs (plus a hidden bonus track on the Minty Fresh release). One song, "Blossom (Got to Get it Out)" is a re-recording of Komeda's song "B.L.O.S.S.O.M." from the soundtrack to the animated series The Powerpuff Girls. "Out from the Rain" might be best known as the song playing in the US advertisement for the Nintendo DS game Kirby: Canvas Curse.

The title of the album is the band name written using the swedish children's cant known as rövarspråket.
