When the album, and the single "[[He's Kissing Christian]]", failed to live up to both the band's and label's expectations, a disillusioned Waronker next began work on a solo album. | After releasing the concept album ''[[Totally Crushed Out!]]'' in 1995, the band toured that summer with Weezer and [[Teenage Fanclub]], in what was obviously a DGC-backed tour.
