For the first time, the band did not use a commercial recording studio. Instead they opted to use a converted warehouse to enhance the ambiance of the sound.[7]

In this album, the band used drop B tuning on most of the album and D-flat tuning on the songs "Hold Your Tongue" and "Suicide Bomber" instead of drop C tuning and D standard used on previous albums. This also makes this the first album since Something Wild to use D-flat tuning.
