Background
editThe album was completed in 1999, and was recorded in a few months at Salad Days Studio. The band disbanded around that time and decided to make the record their last. However, due to struggles finding a proper label to release the record, its release-date was held back. During 2000, tracks from the album would leak onto file-sharing networks, such as Napster.[3] The disc was intended to be released through MIA-Records, but the label shut down due to lawsuits the owner was dealing with at the time. It was not until Tony Weinbender, a long-time-friend of the band, signed them to Fueled by Ramen, that helped them release the record in early 2001.
The album is dedicated to Alanna Alindogan.
