Commented Doernberg: "I wrote all the songs apart from 'May God Save Us From Religion' — a duet with Joseph Parsons (an incredible vocal performance!),who co-wrote the song, too. The same goes for Johnny Gioeli on 'Mutants At The Shopping Mall'. The drums were played by Mike Terrana, Alex Wenn and my brother Curt. The bass tracks were performed by my girlfriend Anke Sobek, Ecki Huedepohl and André Hort. Katja Krause sang harmony vocals on three tracks. I sang and played everything else apart from one song, 'Integrity', where Michael Hankel played electric guitars. On the same track, Sabina Classen (HOLY MOSES) did some growling and — this may be a surprise for many of her fans — clean vocals as well!"

He added, "The whole album is a bit different to the last one, '... 'Til I Run Out Of Road'. Of course, it's still a singer/songwriter album with a lot of slide guitar, but it has more jazz influences and some of the songs have some kind of 'big city' atmosphere. Parts of the album were recorded in New York City and this melting pot of cultures had a huge influence on the album. But don't worry — some songs are in the same style as the songs of the last album."
