Background


First announced via YouTube through a teaser in early May 2015, the first single "Better Place" was released on May 16, 2015.[5][6] This also confirmed the group's lineup, with Adam Gontier as the frontman, Mike Mushok being the guitarist, Corey Lowery as the bassist and Rich Beddoe as the drummer. Gontier's uncle Tom Duffy provided the bass tracks for some of the songs from the album, while Lowery was hired afterward.[7] They announced the release date and track list for the album on June 18, 2015 via Billboard.[3] The second single, "Let Me Live My Life" was released digitally on July 17, 2015.[8]

This is also the only studio album from the band to feature drummer Rich Beddoe before he confirmed his departure in 2017.

AllMusic[9]

The album was received with relatively low reviews as James Christopher Monger of AllMusic gave the album a 2.5 out of 5 star rating.[9] He criticized the songs for feeling like, "cast-offs from prior projects, with recycled melodies and lyrics that sound like they were derived from an angst-centric magnetic poetry kit." However he complimented some songs such as, "Better Place," "Dying Slowly," and "Blow Me Wide Open".[9]

The album sold 13,000 copies in its first week.[10]
