As per usual, most of the songs on this album were road-tested prior to being recorded. "The Bones Of Lazarus" is a reworking of an earlier live favorite, simply called "Lazarus." The composition was renamed in recognition of the 2012 novel, The Bones of Lazarus. Two of the songs - "Chromatic Nightmare" and "Suck A Lemon" - were originally conceived for a themed 2010 performance known as "The Electric Lemoe.nade Acid Test". Although "Haze" was written and originally sung by guitarist Al Schnier, the mic was handed over to bassist Rob Derhak for this album version, and he has handled the vocals on most versions performed since.

A deluxe edition of the album was released with a second disc containing acoustic versions of all the songs.[7]

Personnel
gollark: I mean, I trust computers to do exactly as they're told, but software stacks are horrifically complex and insecure.
gollark: As I've said a bit before, I *do not trust computers enough* to connect one to my brain.
gollark: You might as well just directly plug the camera into the RPi and save a lot of hassle.
gollark: That would be stupid.
gollark: RPis have onboard ethernet anyway, I don't understand your suggestion.
