It is the first studio album by the group since 1984, albeit not involving the full original line-up.

Original members Neville Staple, Roddy Byers, Lynval Golding, and Horace Panter are joined by new members Mark Adams and Adam Birch, along with a number of sessions musicians.

Lead vocals are mostly handled by Staple and Golding, with Neville's daughter Sheena Staples contributing backing vocals to the album.

[4][5] Neville Staple claims that several of the recordings were actually produced demos, and regrets including them on the album.

[6] The tracks "Pressure Drop" and "Hypocrite" were released as singles in the UK.
