Additional information
The song "Jabberwocky" is named after the nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll. This is the first album where former drummer Brandon Proff does not provide artwork and also the first album not to feature some form of skyscrapers on the cover. Instead, David Bell who directed the music video for "Taking Cassandra to the End of the World Party" provides artwork. Also, this is the first album where the majority of the lyrics are written by lead vocalist David Marion. On all past albums, lead guitarist and back up vocalist Adam Rupert Fisher wrote the vast majority of the lyrics.
