Background

While touring in support of 2003's WWIII, band leader Sascha Konietzko discussed the group's plans for the next album: "What we can all agree on, and I'm not saying we disagree on any other things, but everybody was pointing out that it should be really different. There are terms floating around such as, 'More noisy, more dance-y, more electronic and less butt rock.'" After releasing a single album with Sanctuary Records, the band re-signed with Metropolis Records.

The album had originally been titled FUBAR,
