"The Polyfuze Method" is the second album from Kid Rock, released in 1993 on indie label Continuum Records. The album has been long out of print and nearly impossible to find at any store, but you can still find used copies for sale on the internet. In 1997 Kid Rock re-released the album under the title "The Polyfuze Method Revisited", but the re-release has also been out of print for some time now. "The Polyfuze Method Revisited" contained three tracks that weren't on this version - "I Am The Bullgod", "Rain Check", and "Rollin' on the Island". "Back From The Dead" and "U Don't Know Me" were released as singles. "Back From The Dead" was actually released as a single in 1992 before the album was released and was a minor hit on college radio. After arguing with his bosses on whether to release "Prodigal Son" or "U Don't Know Me" as a single the label won releasing the latter. The label paid for the very low-budget music videos of "U Don't Know Me" and "Back From The Dead", but due to poor promotion both videos received little to no airplay and tanked badly. "Prodigal Son" was later released as a single on the promo version of "Fire It Up" in 1994. Killin' Brain Cells features samples from "You Got It (The Right Stuff)", "Girl You Know It's True", "Ice Ice Baby".
