The album is notable for the appearance of the band's biggest hit song, "Different Drum", which was a #12 hit; the song was written by Mike Nesmith prior to his joining the Monkees.
The 1966 album included the original recorded version of Mike Nesmith's "Different Drum", which was made into a hit song the following year by the Stone Poneys.

In addition, the band used electronic drums, synthesizers and the practice of drum-layering for the first time, which is most evident on the track "Closed Captioned." Brendan Canty explained to Tape Op Magazine in 1999 "When "Closed Captioned" was recorded, the basic tracks to it are all a drum machine and then I overdubbed two different drum sets on top of it, which I love doing, it gives distance to a song."
In 2007, Sweet contributed the song "Come to California" for the film, Nancy Drew, and a cover of the Stone Poneys' "Different Drum" for the film, The Heartbreak Kid.
