The album cover features artwork based on Super Metroid, with a male character on the cover showing some appearance similarities to that of Samus Aran.
Producer Jamie King commented on how "the album sounds like the group is playing Metroid across each song." King likened the sound to "aliens taking over the world," and the band embraced the theme.
A video was released for "Get Awesome" in 2008.
