The album consists of content from his seventh HBO comedy special Doin' It Again, with some segments omitted and others rearranged. The opening to the HBO special features flashbacks to all of Carlin's previous HBO specials while Carlin talks about the specials to an unseen narrator, in the style of a patient speaking to a psychologist.

Album information
The title passes as a parental advisory label as well, due to the fact that there is profanity and adult content. A warning in the liner notes to the album reads, "This recording contains no backmasking or subliminal suggestions. All messages from the Devil are recorded clearly and audibly in straightforward Standard American English." Another warning states, "Please! Try not to commit suicide after listening to this album." Two epigrams are also given: "America is like a melting pot. The people at the bottom get burned, and the scum floats to the top." (Charlie King) and "Never let them make you crawl." (John Dillinger)
On his appearance during The Arsenio Hall Show on November 30, 1989, Carlin announced the working title for the special as You're All Mentally Ill, which 10 years later would be reworked into the title of his 1999 special You Are All Diseased.
