According to drummer Taz Bently, the album sessions date back to 2005–2006, describing them as "loose" and focused on "jamming the songs out a pinch more than normal." The album was re-released on July 24, as Izzy Stradlin and bassist JT Longoria remixed the album in Dallas' Nomad Studios for a "much louder and more powerful sounding" edition.
