"Longview", one of the songs on this album, is about boredom-induced masturbation. This set came out in winter 1994. The song itself is much like The Damned's song "New Rose" with the same drum lead ups and extremely fast guitars. It also features an interesting bass line that is one of group bassist Mike Dirnt's watermarks. This song was one of Green Day's first successes in the mainstream.
