The album used the same cover art, but contained a different track list and alternate versions of the songs found on the 2022 release, as well as a new version of "I Can't Shake the Stranger Out of You", from the band's titular first album. It is the last release by the band prior to lead singer Patrick Haggerty's passing on October 31 of the same year.
