Of all the troubles with "Rabies", Key was most displeased with Al Jourgensen's role in the recording process, claiming that he believed Jourgensen's intention during production was to try and break up the band. Ogre himself was unhappy with "Rabies", declaring that he felt he had "flopped" during its production. Ogre went on to proclaim the following concerning his experience: "I was really unsure of myself and unsure of what I wanted to say and do. The work and artistic environment really weren't there at all either. It was completely negative".
