Background

All tracks have been remastered by the band's longtime producer Arthur Rizk with the release being rounded out by stunning artwork from Portland illustrator Matt Stikker.[4] Power Trip's vocalist, Riley Gale commented in an interview with Revolver:

“So this digital package comes on Friday and the vinyl will come out eventually. We've got a single in the tank for Adult Swim that we're just kind of finishing up. We got an Outburst cover that's going to appear on their collection, but we're really going to just take it easy after that tour. We basically have been gone for about 12 of the past 16 months. So that's kind of the end of the cycle. We have a few odds and ends here and there in the U.K., South America and Australia.”[5]

Reception

Sam Houlden of Punknews.org gave the album 4/5 stars in his review.[6]
