The sound of the album was a great change from their first album. Most notably it was a darker sound which favored acoustic guitars and dark lyrics, 'I'm the stones beneath the water that You walk on to be taller' and 'Tried but the tribute short changed kindness, flowers and silence'.

Many fans consider the album to widely underrated with poor sales and very little media or critical attention.

The cover of the album features the back of Chris' head. He had previously not felt up to the responsibility of being a 'front man' but has since gone on to embrace this through IAMX.
