Release
Shortly after its release, however, Dan Hammond joined the band as their new second guitarist. He appears with the rest of the band in the music videos for the singles "You're Not Alone" and "Kiss Me, Diss Me". Between late June and mid-August, the group went on the 2002 edition of Warped Tour. The band supported the album with several other tours. However, it would prove to be their final album as the band went on "indefinite hiatus" in 2005 after releasing the EP When it All Comes Down.
The album contains 3 hidden tracks which appear after "Disaster," at 7:30 into track 12. They are a 9-second "techno song," a short rap about "Asian flavor," and a short acoustic "song for Steve." There was also a single released for "You're Not Alone" which contained tracks "Break Me Down" and "Hope Sinks", which were B-sides from the album. "Kings of Pop" was released on clear vinyl by Drive-Thru Records, and was reissued in 2015 by Mutant League Records after being out of print for over a decade.
Reception
It was the band's most successful release, reaching #189 on the Billboard 200 chart.
