The liner notes to the album suggest that the band's name originated from a comment from Dave Schools who reportedly stated, "Play like a brute."

The liner notes also suggest that the album title derives from the safe stacking height for pallets.

The band Brute played 5 shows under that moniker, and Vic would collaborate with the band several more times before his death.[5][6]

Several brute. songs have been covered by Widespread Panic over the years since Vic's death, including "Protein Drink/Sewing Machine" and "Bastards in Bubbles."
