History[]
In late 2008, the band planned to return to the studio to record a new EP (similar to Half Hour of Power), but Deryck kept writing more new material and it got to so much that they had about 30 songs that Deryck had written.
The band hired legendary producer Gil Norton to produce the album, according to Jocz, Norton forced him to do 20+ retakes if there was a mistake. Eventually, Gil was dismissed and Whibley put it on himself to produce their future album. The album received mostly mixed reviews upon its release due to its darker tone and songwriting drawing varied opinions from critics.
