The lead single "No More Lies" featured Schon on vocals and had a music video that was played on MTV.
The album cover is a play on the well known Arm & Hammer brand baking soda.
"Self Defense" would later be re-recorded for Journey's 2005 album Generations (under the title "In Self Defense"), with Schon taking lead vocal duties once again.
