Musically, it is much different from the band's debut album From Them, Through Us, to You. The booklet folds out to a map showing Madina Lake's fictional character, Adalia's, journey to Eden.
The album debuted and peaked at #44 on the UK Albums Chart.

"Never Take Us Alive"
The first single "Never Take Us Alive" is available on iTunes as well as other digital music retailers. Frontman Nathan Leone explained to Kerrang! that "Never Take Us Alive" is about, "overcoming the negativity, ignoring it and continuing the pursuit of your own happiness."[8] The video was first aired on the online MySpaceTV, and has since found its way to YouTube. This song is included in the soundtrack of the game Colin McRae: Dirt 2.
