The album would prove to be D Generation's last before breaking up merely a month after its release; the band eventually regrouped to record a new album, Nothing Is Anywhere, which was released 17 years later in 2016. Only one track "Helpless" was taken from the record as a single; this single would also feature in the movie The Faculty.
