History

The collection of songs that became V was never intended to be released as an album. Guitarist Chad Taylor said, "The goal was to prepare songs for the next studio session. MCA got a hold of the material and pushed us to call it an album." The songs were originally going to be released free to fans as a collection called Ecstatic Fanatic. V only reached number 22 on the album chart in the US and failed to attain Gold status, despite reasonably positive reviews.

"Deep Enough" was intended to be the album's first single until the record company overruled the band and released "Simple Creed" instead.
