Herren stated that the album was him wanting to do something different and that he went through a stage in his career where he wanted to do something completely different, and that on "looking back at it, I should have just done it under a different name [laughs]. It really didn't make much sense now that I think about it, it's like 'Damn, I easily could've called this something else and let be its own thing,' because I feel like I unintentionally alienated a lot of my fans that just wanted to hear what I normally do as Prefuse. That, for me, is my biggest regret about it. It's not that I regret the music, I just should have catalogued it differently."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/prefuse_73_discusses_triad_of_releases_upcoming_collaborations|work=Exclaim!|title=Prefuse 73 Reflects on His Return and Future Projects with Haxan Cloak, Michael Christmas|accessdate=March 10, 2016|last=Keating|first=Daryl|date=May 27, 2015}}</ref>
