It contains "Whoever You Are," a #16 hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[8] It was used in a Mercedes-Benz commercial, in 2001.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly called the album "another fine, goofunky mess, chockful of weird hooks and dance-feverish energy."[4] The Nation wrote that the band "is carving out a place devoted to fey weirdness, edgy grooves, and realityskewing lyrics."[9] Trouser Press wrote: "Sacred Cow continues the duo’s tactful progression towards a modern version of Steely Dan-dom."[10]
