Kirk Windstein described the album as "the first record where the Crowbar rulebook was thrown out of the window" [5]

The song "Planets Collide" has become a mandatory staple on Crowbar's live setlists. The album was inducted into Decibel Magazine’s Hall of Fame in June of 2017. [6] , as it takes a more melodic approach both musically and lyrically. Despite that, the album quickly became a fan-favorite in the NOLA metal scene and the song "Planets Collide" became a permanent staple at every performance.

It is also the first album to feature Acid Bath and Goatwhore guitarist Sammy Duet and is named after the cemetery in New Orleans.
