[ [http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2004580002-2007340348,00.html The Sun, January 8 2008.] ] [ [http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/20070829/ten-nash-sets-sights-on-the-us-ea4616c_1.html] ]

The album was released five weeks earlier than originally planned due to the popularity of the single "Foundations".

A version that included a "making of" DVD was available at Best Buy on the album's release in the United States. In the US, "Made of Bricks" debuted at number 36 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 16,000.
