Despite the anticipation before the release, the album failed to catch the success of their debut album, possibly due to the lack of a hit single, and it was accidentally produced using last-second timing due to a failed trio-agreement with one insider. Following the disappointing sales of the album, Trapt was asked to leave from Warner Bros. Records.
