Very Proud of Ya

The liner notes of the album state that all the tracks are copyrighted to Anthems for Insubordinates, while the mailing address states the band's name as Asking for It. It is the last album to feature bassist Geoff Kresge, who illustrated the album cover as well.[4] The album features future band member Jade Puget performing back-up vocals.[4] It was recorded in about a week.[5]

The tracks "Two of a Kind" and "Yürf Rendenmein" were re-recorded from their debut album Answer That and Stay Fashionable. The title of "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" is a reference to the song of the same name by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, although it is not a cover.

A music video, the band's first, was made for "He Who Laughs Last...",[5] directed by Darren Doane and Ken Daurio. It adds a voiceover to the beginning of the track in a reference to the film Goodfellas.[6]

All lyrics are written by Davey Havok; all music is composed by Geoff Kresge, except where noted.
