The album marked the band's turn to a more folkier sound, moving away from the early years' thrash metal style.
The album title appears as a reference in the closing track "Quantity Time": Each moment in your company was of more quantity than quality. My hopes and dreams - transparent phantoms, this wayward son's irrational anthems.
It was released as a digipak and standard CD release.
