The unabridged title of the album is Blast Tyrant Atlas of the Invisible World with Illustrations of Strange Beasts and Phantoms.
A reissue of the album was released through Clutch's own label, Weathermaker Music,[6] and contains the original album along with a second bonus disc, entitled Basket of Eggs, which is a collection of acoustic versions of songs, from 2001 to 2011 by the band, including the "Polar Bear Lair Demos". The music video for the song "The Mob Goes Wild" was created by Ryan Dunn.[7] Unlike some reissues the band have done, or some of the "import" versions of their albums to begin with, the track listing of the original album remains the same.
The album debuted at #147 on the Billboard 200, selling 8,000 copies in its first week.[8]
All songs written by Clutch.
