"Down Low", "Early Grave" and "Running Against" were released as singles and videos were made for those songs. "Fuckin Rock 'n' Roll" was released for radio airplay and as a promotional CD single, but a video was not made for the song. The ending of "Down Low" is a ripoff from Machine Head's "Davidian", though uncredited.
Although it was supposed to be the band's first album in a five-album deal with Roadrunner Records, the band left the label in December 2007, stating professional reasons, though numerous sources reported that it was the label that dropped the band due to personal reasons with the band's behavior.
