The first single, "Monsters and Angels", became the band's first entry on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 74. [8] It also was the band's second top-twenty single in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 17. [6] "Monsters and Angels" peaked at No. 72 on the Australian ARIA singles chart, [7] and was their sole top-ten single on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking at number eight. [9]

The album was certified silver in the U.K. for shipments of 60,000 units.
