The album was met with commercial disappointment. Despite debuting at number 10 on the US Billboard 200, it descended the chart quickly and is their first album not to have received an RIAA certification. It was also the band's only album to not feature a Billboard Hot 100-charting single until AM Gold in 2022.
The album was dedicated to Greg Violett, who died on May 2, 2005.[6]
