By November 1996, when Screaming Trees performed "All I Know" on the "2 Meter Sessions," they were in the midst of promoting their fifth studio album, "Dust," which was released earlier that year. This album marked a significant moment in the band's evolution as it showcased a more polished sound and included contributions from producer George Drakoulias, who was pivotal in achieving their mainstream breakthrough. "Dust" was noted for having a more mature tone compared to their earlier work and featured some of their most well-received tracks. The performance at the "2 Meter Sessions" not only highlighted the band’s strong live presence but also underscored their prominent role in the grunge and alternative rock scenes of the 1990s. Additionally, the session reflects the band's adaptability and continued relevance in a rapidly changing musical landscape.
