In late April 2010, the group cancelled all upcoming shows in Europe and Russia, citing circumstances rising from a split with their management team.

[13] Lead singer Bert McCracken said of the album: "This record's really about becoming more than just who you are, and allowing yourself that vulnerability to be a more powerful person.

"[14] McCracken also said about the music: "There’s a lot of hip-hop influence, beats and drum and bass kind of stuff, but it’s also still a The Used record, by all means.

Just like any other Used record, it’s a horse of many colors: There are a lot of soft and heavy sounds, there are a lot of brutal, sharp, bright sounds, and the tempos are anywhere from ultra-slow to super fast and heavy.

[21] The group appeared at the Alternative Press' South by Southwest showcase on March 17[22] performing an acoustic set.

[36] The band released a music video for "Put Me Out" on September 17,[37] before embarking on a headlining west coast US tour with support from Twin Atlantic and Stars in Stereo.

[40] On January 21, 2013, a deluxe edition was released featuring an extra disc of recordings and new artwork.
