This rock album, created after touring with Panic at the Disco! and collaborating with Brendon Urie (producer for Weezer, Fallout Boy, and Panic at the Disco!), features Mike Viola's signature Beatles-esque melodic numbers, as well as hard rock tracks that he describes as "using the core of James Gang's 'Rides Again' and Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid,' and the childlike brain inside a middle-aged man with graying hair to create a sonic monster."
