The album was released in 1999, and was a musical and lyrical departure from the pop punk or skate punk influenced music found on previous albums and EPs.

Trever Keith flatly refused to play anything from this album on their minitour, according to an interview video on their official MySpace page.

In 2012, the band had a change of heart and decided to go on tour and perform the entire album acoustically.

The album was reissued in 2012 on Keith's own label, Antagonist Records, with the songs from So Why Aren't You Happy?

Reception was mainly positive and many noted the shift in style from skate punk to more alternative rock sound.
