While recording this record two marriages fell apart, we lost a drummer, someone nearly went to jail, and we discovered late in the day that record making is hellishly expensive and best done with a budget prepared beforehand.

After the move to Los Angeles, the album's budget ballooned and deadlines became a more pressing concern. [11] Studio time was expensive and the group was pressured by Capitol to deliver the record in a timely fashion. [7] However, the pressure never adversely affected the band members, whose main priorities were to make "music for its own sake […] and let the commercial concerns take care of themselves." [2]

The album's opener, "Doll", involves the fear of entering into situations unprepared. [11] [21] Regarding "Monkey Wrench", Grohl stated that it was "a song about realizing that you are the source of all of the problems in a relationship and you love the other person so much, you want to free them of the problem, which is actually yourself. It was a riff that turned into another riff that turned into another riff and ended up being a nice little power punk song." [21] In another interview, Grohl stated his pride in the song: "With Monkey Wrench I remember I had the main riff, but I didn't have the little jangly riff that goes over the top of it and I thought it needed something. So I came up with the jangly riff and thought 'Oh my God this is never gonna fly! Everyone's gonna hate it'. But I was really excited the first time I heard it on the radio—it was in the middle of a load of mid-'90s grunge shit and I thought it was so killer." [22] The song was released as the first single from the album in 1997. a b "American certifications – Foo Fighters". Recording Industry Association of America.
