Bonus tracks on Japanese edition
  1. "Harley-Davidson" [new version] (Ingebrigtsen, Tekrø, Alfheim, Mills)
  2. "Don't Come Too Near" (Tekrø)

The riff on "Are You Blind?" is an old Le Tekrø riff dating at least back to the Firefly days.

Bonus song "Don't Come Too Near" sparked fanbase controversy as to what exactly the lyrics meant.

This is the first TNT album since Tell No Tales in which Diesel Dahl has songwriting contributions.

Reception

While getting mixed reviews online, fan reception was generally bad. Melodic Rock gave the album a very poor review. Metal Express Radio gave it a positive review. However, many fans think of it as a disappointment. Others however like it, citing it for its originality, and Norwegian Monster Magazine called it "The most pleasant surprise this year". It can widely be compared to the controversial 1997 album Firefly which also caused a small uproar amongst longtime fans and disappointment for going too far from the original TNT sound.
