It contains the group's debut single (in the United States), "Stand or Fall", which hit the Top 10 of Billboard's Album Rock Tracks as well as No. 79 on the Hot 100. Its follow-up US single was "Red Skies", although this was their debut single in the UK market. Both songs were aided by popular MTV music videos.
