owner, was friends with Pat and offered to sign the band to release the album. They later revealed that the album was originally scheduled for an April release date, but it got pushed back to May because the CD wasn't ready. The band had wanted to release the album on Fat Wreck Chords, but Fat Mike didn't want to, as he felt the band were too different from the other acts. He offered to release it on Honest Don's Records, the subsidiary for Fat, but the band declined, viewing it as a "second-tier label". When they met on Warped Tour in 2000, Mike told them he was so impressed by them saying no that he offered to sign them to Fat for their next album. They would release their next 2 albums on the label. In 2004, the band rereleased the album on A-F Records due to the rights reverting to them. The rerelease included new artwork. The band later said that this was the first Anti-Flag album to sell more than 100,000 copies. Track listing All songs written by Justin Sane, except where noted.
