The album received its widest publicity for "Amerika", a single whose video painted a seemingly apocalyptic portrait of contemporary American life before cutting away to a clip from a campaign speech by Donald Trump,[3] several months before the 2016 presidential election.[4] The song was their biggest hit since "Weighty Ghost" in 2007,[5] reaching #1 on Canada's Alternative and Rock charts.[4]

The album was a shortlisted Juno Award finalist for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2017.[6]

gollark: And then get annoyed at having to reimplement tons of logic myself, but such are things.
gollark: I avoid premade stacks like that because they always seem to not do what I want in some way.
gollark: I much prefer making minoteaur, or telling <@319753218592866315> to.
gollark: I would have to *deal with clients* and probably have constrained tech stacks still and *still* have deadlines.
