"Ugly" would prove to be the album's first single and found notable airplay upon release. The song's chorus utilizes an easily recognizable power chord structure and was also used as the theme song for WWE Survivor Series 2004.
"Hey You" was included as a cover by WaveGroup Sound in the first two Guitar Hero games (the latter as DLC) and would later appear as a master recording in Guitar Hero Smash Hits.
"Slow Drain" was featured in NFL Street 2.
"What You Deserve" is included in the soundtrack of Juiced.
