Dave Jerden and was recorded in Los Angeles.[4] According to Osborne, the album cost $250,000 to make,[5] and Osborne has stated that he thought the album was "overproduced."[3]
The Globe and Mail wrote that "the wrenching overdrive guitar, touches of synthetic coloring, pale vocals and abstract political/spiritual concerns bring to mind an odd combination of Neil Young and the Cult."[7] The Toronto Star called the album "punk music gone soft around the edges."[8]The Gazette deemed it "a sometimes confrontational sound couched in dreamlike atmospherics."[9]
Show Me was nominated for a
CASBY Award for "Album of the Year".[10]
