 It was recorded in seventeen days in April 2006 by the five founding members, two of whom (the bass guitarist Patrick O'Connor and the drummer Chris Trombley) left the group weeks after the completion of the mixing process in June 2006.The artwork and packaging of the album is somewhat unusual, as it is flipped horizontally.Unlike conventional CDs and books, the spine is located on the right, meaning that both the case and the booklet open to the right.
