The album was listed at number 410 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003
Well known as the frontman of New Zealand band Betchadupa, in 2007 Finn released his solo debut I'll Be Lightning, which draws on his experiences from living in London in recent years. Finn chose to record the album entirely in analogue at his father's recording studio, Roundhead Studios
"Before we started working on the track, we all ate and drank together. My wife told Kal a story about how she can't drink whiskey anymore 'cause otherwise you'd find her body painted in the limbs of a pine tree. I guess Kal was inspired by that story," Marco Benevento explains to Rolling Stone. "For the session the mics were always on and the tape was running. We didn't do a lot of thinking – there seemed to be barely any room for thought. The outward onslaught of music output from Kal and Stuart Bogie, who was also with us playing saxophone and adding background vocals, was endless."

The single cover is a photograph taken on the set of the film The Collector (but isn't depicted in the actual film), based on the novel by John Fowles. Originally Terence Stamp denied permission for the still to be used, and some pressings featured lead singer Morrissey in a re-enacted scene. In the re-enactment Morrissey is holding a glass of milk, as opposed to a chloroform pad in the original. Eventually, however, Stamp changed his mind, and the covers featuring Morrissey are now very rare and collectible.
""One of These Days" is indeed a love song full of compliments and winks—"You're the sweetest revelation that these weary eyes will ever hold"—White has his eyes on a longer-lasting prize. Beauty fades, but he wants to stick around when the wrinkles and grays overrun everything. "I want to lay next to you when our glory fades," he sings, tear-drunk drums and slyly uplifting funeral horns reaffirming the passage. "I want to lay next to you and never turn away." Maybe the thought of a song about being interred together seems creepy, but within White's meek voice and grand vision, it sounds, as he puts it, "like the sweetest thing the Lord has ever made."" -Pitchfork
