In early 2005 Eleventh He Reaches London began recording their first full-length album with Allen Smith at Bergerk!

[5] Drummer Mark Donaldson stated: “We never really gave any thought to releasing an EP or singles, because we believe that you can get more enjoyment out of our band across an album.

We wanted to release something that was quite cohesive, and had some continuity, with a good hour-long running time.”[6] Stephe Edwards on the Rockus website describes the album as being "a journey in genre-hopping, beauty through the unexpected, angst, reflection, frustration" and "a sound reminiscent of Red Sparowes, with all the care, consideration and humility, but in a much more brutal context.

"[7] XPress magazine's Mike Wafer stated "Brilliant for what it is, this album is a triumph for expressionist music, but lacks the same jaw-dropping power the band wield from the stage."

He went onto to comment that "The advantage of not following traditional song structure and melodic method is that Eleventh can create epics that don't drag on, as it is unimportant as to which part of which narrative you are up to.
