The EP features a full-band version of the song "International War Criminal" which first appeared on Vic Ruggiero's second solo album, Alive at the Ladybug House. A dub version of "Propaganda" also appears on The Slackers/Pulley Split and An Afternoon in Dub. All five songs also appear on Peculiar, although all except "Rider" are re-recorded.

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or criminal:
“It is the women of Europe who pay the price while war rages, and it will be the women who will pay again when war has run its bloody course and Europe sinks down into the slough of poverty like a harried beast too spent to wage the fight. It will be the sonless mothers who will bend their shoulders to the plough and wield in age-palsied hands the reaphook.”
—Kate Richards O’Hare (1877–1948)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
