It was released in 1992, and the cover art was designed by Italian artist Lieve Prins[?]. Prins, an "electrographer" who makes art with photocopiers, had the band photocopy various parts of their bodies and then made a collage with the results.
Like their 1989 album Up to Here, Fully Completely is considered one of The Tragically Hip's best albums, and a classic Canadian album. Also like Up to Here, many of the songs are still played regularly on various formats of Canadian radio. Some of the songs are inspired by real events - Fifty Mission Cap is about Bill Barilko[?], who played for the Toronto Maple Leafs before he disappeared in 1951, while Wheat Kings is about David Milgaard[?], who was wrongfully convicted of murder in the 1960s.
All songs were written by The Tragically Hip.
