While the title is a quote from William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, Snaith has been quoted as saying that he read it off the back of a milk truck.[17] The album received critical acclaim.[4]
In 2009, Seattle emcee producer Ryan Lewis sampled the song "Subotnik" for "Vipassana", the first track on their critically acclaimed project, The VS. EP.[18]
