This is the first release after the departure of three members of the band's original lineup and is also the only album to feature drummer Jarrod Alexander and guitarist/vocalist John Martinez.

During this time, guitarist Nate Lindeman and bassist Phil Pirrone left to form Casket Salesmen.

Absolute Punk reviewer Dre Berringer praised the band's return to a more aggressive sound and called it their best album to date.

He noted the album is nothing new, but A Static Lullaby "does a fine job at making it enjoyable to listen to, rather than sounding like all of the other dime a dozen imposters.

Prato noted the band's line-up change, saying "the lineup hiccup has not thrown the group off their musical path in the slightest.
