Promotion and release
Escape the Fate released the song "Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché" as the first single and later released the song "Situations" as the second single on November 20, 2007, on iTunes, which included "Situations", its video, and the B-side "Makeup" which was previously only available on the Japanese version of Dying Is Your Latest Fashion.

"There's No Sympathy for the Dead" and "The Guillotine" were first released in the band's There's No Sympathy for the Dead EP.

"The Webs We Weave" was intended to be third single from the album, but was cancelled due to Ronnie Radke's departure.

"Reverse This Curse" was never released as a single but appeared in the soundtrack of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and on the Warped Tour 2007 Tour Compilation album.

Following the release of the album, Radke was put on probation for narcotics charges and later violated probation when he was involved in an altercation resulting in the death of 18-year-old Michael Cook. Radke plead guilty to battery charges and was sent to prison for two years, leading Escape the Fate to hire Craig Mabbitt as their temporary lead singer. Mabbit would later become the permanent lead singer and be featured in the band's subsequent studio albums.

In celebration of the album's 10th anniversary, Falling in Reverse played every song from the album during their tour "Ronnie Radke's Three Ring Circus" in 2015.
