Bassist Paulie Bromley said on the band's web site that the album reflects the band's growth since their first album Polyserena: Polyserena was us learning how to make a record, Unity was making that record.
Songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist Tyrone Noonan said that the songwriting was more mature: I personally feel like I've developed a lot as a songwriter, more confident lyrics and statements being expressed through those lyrics.
