"Reinventing Your Exit" and "It's Dangerous Business Walking out Your Front Door" were released as the album's two singles and both songs spawned music videos that received frequent airplay on [[MTV2]] and [[Fuse TV|Fuse]]. In March 2005, Underoath participated in the inaugural [[Taste of Chaos]] tour, and shortly after, embarked on their first headlining tour. The band premiered two brand-new songs during the length of the tour. They played a part of the Warped Tour, but declined to perform for the entirety of the tour in order to take time to record another album. Underoath made their first covers of national magazines appearing on ''[[CCM Magazine]]''<ref>Van Pelt, Doug (July 2005). The Hard Way. ''CCM Magazine'' Archives.
