The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at number 165, slightly higher than the band's following effort, Catch Thirtythree.

[3] A last-minute decision to join 2002's Ozzfest tour forced the band to mix the album in two days and to master it in one.

Jazz fusion elements such as the interludes found in some songs on the band's Destroy Erase Improve album are still present in this release.

These include the tempo of "Nebulous" which was lowered, and the track length of "Obsidian" was nearly doubled with the ending fadeout removed.

The re-release also includes a DVD containing music videos and their Download Festival performance in 2005, as well as modified cover art.
