The album is the band's lowest charting release to date, only peaking at #42 on the UK Albums Chart. The album artwork was designed by Klaus Voormann, who also designed the artwork for The Beatles album Revolver. A total of sixteen new tracks were released as part of the album campaign; eleven on the album itself, and five additional new tracks as B-sides. An orchestral version of "Eyes Wide Open" appears as a hidden track on physical copies of the album.
