Production, Release and Reception
The album was first released as a digital download on November 4, 2008, and on compact disc on November 11, 2008. According to Vanilla Ice, he did not have creative control over the production of the album, but he chose most of the songs. IGN reviewer Spence D. wrote "From uninspired rap/rock interpretations to thin voiced funk interpretations on down to the poor synth break beats, is an embarrassing endeavor that sounds like it should have stayed locked inside Ice's studio (or at the very least leaked on YouTube and passed off as a piss take)."
The cover is based on Elvis Presley's 10th studio album: Elvis Is Back!.

Famous quotes containing the words release and/or reception:
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
