About the album
The Living End was recorded at Singb Melbourne Studios.
The album cover was designed by the leader of the group, Chris, independently using a photograph of the times of the First World War , which depicts a female bomb factory.
The song “Monday” is the epitaph of The Living End for the events of March 14, 1996, when a mentally ill person shot 16 students and a teacher at a local school with a rifle, and then shot himself.
The song "Sleep on It" was released in the Australian version of the album. In the rest, it was replaced by "Strange", which in turn has already appeared in previous Australian releases. And the group decided that it was better not to repeat the song “Strange” for Australian fans.
"Prisoner of Society" was included in the game Guitar Hero: World Tour .
