The songs "Heat", "Meals on Wheels" and "The Sun" are all re-recorded songs from the band's debut album Belongs to the Dead, with "Okay Paddy" having its name changed to "Meals on Wheels". It has appeared on a best-of emo album list by Junkee.[5] Similarly, "I Saw Water" appeared on a best-of emo songs list by Vulture.[6]
Loudwire called "Plane vs Tank vs Submarine" the best emo track of 2008.[7] BrooklynVegan called the album a "landmark release in the early days of the emo revival".[8]
According to BrooklynVegan, the album contains "punk riffs and sing-along choruses", as well as a handful of acoustic tracks. The album's lyrics explore youth, drama, and relationships.[8]
