Drummer Brann Dailor recently described it as a "gorgeous" work, adding: "It's a reflection of our past with a few songs that are a bit out-there and show a new direction. We're as happy with it as we were our previous albums."

Mastodon have shot a video for previous track High Road, featuring Live Action Role Players - which Dailor says gave the band a chance to embrace their 'nerd' fanbase.
