In 2000 Nielsen was interviewed for KAOS2000 magazine, where the interviewer Philip Anderson called the album "great" and asked what happened to it. Nielsen responded ""Yeah, there was some fun stuff on there. The president and Mo Ostin got fired right when the record came out. That didn't help."" In March 2002, Nielsen was interviewed for Salt Lake City Weekly, where he revealed why the band decided to later create their own independent record label: ""When we did "Woke Up With A Monster" on Warner Bros., we were signed by Lenny Waronker and Mo Ostin, two of the biggest guys in the business. They got fired right as our record came out, so that was the kiss of death for us. Then our next record came out on Red Ant Records and they went bankrupt as soon as it came out. So, we had two records with virtually no one hearing about it, unless you were a real die-hard Cheap Trick fan. There was no push behind either one of them, so people were thinking we didn't put out records. So, we got a bit gun-shy; if we put out new stuff, nobody listened. We stood back and looked at the history we've had and decided to emphasize it.""
