It was recorded shortly before the addition of the band's final drummer, Dave Grohl, and features drums by Dan Peters, of the Seattle rock band, Mudhoney.

A sliver building is a tall building constructed on a lot with a narrow frontage, more specifically in New York City, or less that is taller than other buildings on the same street. Since the mid-1980s, one of the most remarkable advances in tall building design has been their construction to unprecedented slenderness ratios, allowing buildings on narrow lots to be built taller. History In the early 1980s, there was a high demand in luxury housing market in New York City, but there was a lack of available large lot sizes in high density residential zoning districts. This resulted in towers that were built on small lots but were four to five times taller than neighboring townhouses. At the time, there were height limits specified in the 1961 Zoning Resolution through the floor area ratio (FAR) formula.
