While there is growing interest for the album to be re-printed,^{[citation needed]} the band has yet to do so. The band's guitarist, Matt Brown, said on KEXP that "...we've been hesitant to re-press it because we made it about ten years ago..."[1]

Compared to the band's later albums, Different Stars and Having, it can be seen^{[by whom?]} as being more pop than the sound they later had. Tracks such as "Cabinet" have funk-style bass-lines.^{[citation needed]}
