The album's single "Gore Veil" was named one of the ten best Canadian songs of 2005 by CBC Radio 3. The album was also subsequently shortlisted for the 2006 Polaris Music Prize. It was, however, the band's final album.

In interviews around the time of the band's breakup in 2006, keyboardist Max "Age of Danger" McCabe-Lokos described Porcella's creative process as a difficult one, marked by creative tension between him and bandleader André Ethier.[1] Ethier had released a solo album in 2004, and McCabe-Lokos admitted that his own response to that was to assert greater creative control over Porcella than he had on past Snakes albums, taking on both production and mixing duties.[1]
