The album's title is Spanish for "living dead". The first single from the album was "We're All Dying", which got its first radio play on June 18, 2007. The second single, "Underground", was first played on The Fox Vancouver, 99.3. The third single was "Banshee Song", released in 2009.

In its sound, the album is more experimental as it is more mature and heavier than other albums by the band. It sound is a combination of punk rock, alternative metal and hard rock compared to their traditional pop punk sound.

A song frontman Tom Thacker has originally wrote for this album, entitled "Panic Attack", has become the title track from Sum 41's fifth studio album Screaming Bloody Murder, which was the band's first album to be recorded with Thacker as lead guitarist.
