Vocalist Josh Stuart on the album

"It's about how this world has lost its way. How everywhere you turn there is something disgusting in disguise. Everyone turns a blind eye but in the end we are all embroiled in its filth. It's about how it tempts us to join this "evil" side and how ultimately we unknowingly promote it. Whether it be by buying violent movies or pornography, idolizing 'rock stars' and other image conscious mediums or indulging in lavish unnecessary material items. We all just close our eyes until it becomes trivial 7pm news and topical conversation. Those who have the power to curb our demise are caught up in corruption, greed and compromised values. In the end this will be all we know and all we see. It will be our god."

Other Tracks

Two other tracks that didn't quite make the album were released on the Shakedown single.The two tracks are 'X Marks The Spot' and an unplugged version of Shakedown. While an acoustic guitar can be heard on the track,it seems to consist mostly of electronic drum beats and Josh's vocals aren't quite as forced as the other tracks.
