Two songs from the album — "Now That You're All Alone" and "15 Minutes" — are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

Commented Rich Ward: "We worked from a list of about 20 songs for the album, including SICK SPEED [Ward's now-defunct side project] songs ('Autumn Brings', 'Time and a Place') and previously unreleased MOJO tracks 'Friends' and 'Invincible'. To get the November release date that we wanted, the deadline to have the album completed was moved a month earlier than originally scheduled. At that point I shortened the list to the 14 songs that I felt were most fully realized and moved forward with those. From that list, a few songs did not get completed by the new deadline and are now back in the 'damn that song is going to be good' list of unused or incomplete ideas.

"If you have a copy of the demo versions of 'Friends' and 'Invincible', the songs have changed a bit, as most of the guitars and vocals have been retracked, arrangements have changed, and the production has improved light years."

He added, "The record is very heavy in spots and very mellow in spots. When it's angry, it's angry. When it's not, it's not. No politics, just songs about life and how our experiences have molded us. A record about friends, family, love, loss, success and failure. Any fan that has followed us over the years will not be super surprised as we have left a bread crumb trail over the last few years. For better or worse and with no apologies, this record is who we are in 2008."
