The band entered the studio in late March 2009 to record the album. The album was finished and final details were announced on June 15, 2009. The same day, the band posted a new song, titled "H.D.U.I. (Honorary Discharge Under the Influence)", on their Myspace page. The song details frontman Devin Peralta's encounter with an Iraq War veteran who was discharged from the military for intentionally driving under the influence in the desert.
The title of the tenth track, "I Used to Like Them When They Put 'Cobra' in the Titles", is in reference to the band's previous album, Sitting Army, in which every track had the word "cobra" in the title.
