The album was recorded in Vancouver and mixed in Toronto by Joe Chiccarelli. Author Daniel Handler has written a story for the liner notes of the album and plays the accordion in Barricade.[12] In an interview with MTV Live, Stars frontman Torquil Campbell indicated that one of the goals of the band was to create an album that comes across as a unified whole through careful sequencing and thoughtful storytelling instead of simply sounding like a collection of tracks.[13] The first single from the album is "Take Me to the Riot", and the second single is "The Night Starts Here."
The album was initially released with a bonus DVD documentary of the Set Yourself on Fire tour, titled "Are We Here Now?"[14]
The album was a nominee for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize.[15]
