This is their first album without original member Jonathan Mess, and therefore the first and so far only album with guitarist Will Swan handling screaming duties. It is also their only album with former bassist Jason Ellis, who left after the recording. It is their last album with former clean lead vocalist, Kurt Travis. They have also made a music video for Tree Village. It is their second release thus far to provide lyrics for each song in the CD booklet (Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean being the first).
