Album information

On August 31, 2010, "Come On" was released uncensored on iTunes. The video of their first single "Come On" was premiered on Headbangers Ball on September 27, hosted by Mushroomhead themselves. "Come On" was also featured in the Criminal Minds episode "There's no Place like Home" from the show's 7th season. "Come On" was also featured on Oct 5, 2010 episode of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) on Spike TV as a promotion of the long storied rivalry between Wrestling Legend, Ric Flair and Hardcore Wrestling Legend, Mick Foley.

The album title is inspired by the 'Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children comic book series published by DC Comics through their Piranha Press imprint from June 1989 until September 1992. According to the band, they wanted the album title to reflect the nature of the songs themselves, and the title came once they incorporated the visual elements of the project. According to Jeffrey Nothing, the working title for the album was going to be Slaughterhouse Road, before it was changed to its current title, however, Slaughterhouse Road was still used as a song title.
