The reissue coincided with the Feelies’ performance at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival where they performed the album in its entirety. The debut album is a masterwork of perfectly honed minimalist rock that leaps and darts into the corners of the listener's consciousness, a true sonic tour de force that Rolling Stone deemed one of the "100 Best Albums of the 1980s." Fans of the Velvet Underground, Wire and Brian Eno's early solo work will surely appreciate the "forces at work" (to quote a song title!) on this masterpiece.

The rereleased album features deluxe packaging (CD and vinyl LP) with liner notes by Jim DeRogatis. The album has been remastered by Andreas Meyer at Tangerine Mastering from the best available sources, and it includes the original 9 tracks (that is, without the cover of Paint it Black added on the A&M re-release) as well as 5 bonus tracks. As the band considers each album to be a discrete aesthetic artifact, the bonus material (including demos, b-sides, EP tracks and some new live recordings from the reunited group) are included on digital download cards. 
The album is also available in mp3 at iTunes, AmazonMP3, Rhapsody etc.

The second recording came some six years later co-produced by Glenn Mercer and Bill Million together with REM's Peter Buck (a Feelies admirer since his days as a record store clerk). The Good Earth was an early release on Coyote Records, the label founded and run by Steve Fallon, also the original owner of famed Hoboken indie rock mecca, Maxwell's. This album introduced the lineup that continues to this day.
