Matthew Sweet wrote "Someone to Pull the Trigger" on his own, and it turned up on Altered Beast, his fourth album, released on Zoo Entertainment in 1993. The record around it is crowded with guests, among them drummers Mick Fleetwood, Jody Stephens and Pete Thomas, guitarists Richard Lloyd, Robert Quine and Ivan Julian, keyboard man Nicky Hopkins and violinist Byron Berline.
Sweet borrowed the album's name from the arcade game Altered Beast, and he told Spin it stood for whatever might be lurking inside you, ready to blow someday, without your even knowing it was there.
