The record's first single, the hard-edged, up-tempo rocker "Anything at All" became a top-20 hit on the US rock charts, and was a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 reaching #49 on June 13, 1992[2][3]. It also had a rather popular music video, which was featured on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. The album's second single, "Nobody Wins in This War" peaked at No. 66 on Billboards Top 100[4] with the third single, "Our Love Will Never Die," promoted on The Jay Leno Show.
