The album is considered to be one of the best in Parliament's oeuvre. It is a loose concept album warning the listener of falling into the 'Placebo Syndrome', which according to George Clinton is consumerism, and listening to disco music, which he saw as a simplification of funk music in attempt to gain commercial success. The album spawned a number #1 record in "Flashlight", which features a funky guitar riff from former James Brown guitarist Catfish Collins.
