The album, like their debut, received critical acclaim, and praise that the Futureheads had 'matured' their sound.

However unlike their debut it did not sell very well, and led to the band being dropped by their label 679 Recordings.

Singer/lyricist/guitarist Barry Hyde has revealed recently that second single "Worry About It Later" concerns "...modern attitudes towards casual sex".

The song "News and Tributes" is dedicated to the victims of the Munich air disaster, when a plane with many Manchester United players on board crashed in Munich in 1958.

US bonus tracks "Skip to the End" was accompanied by three B-sides when it was released as a single in 2006.
