"You Wouldn't Know" is about the difficulty of maintaining one's integrity in the profit-obsessed music industry and "Thank You" is a shout-out to all of the band's recently departed family members: Vinnie's brother "Dimebag Darrell," Maxwell's mother, and Gray's grandmother.

The album debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 selling 45,000 copies in its first week. [cite web
