The album was released in the United Kingdom on 25 April 2011, with 5 singles preceding it: "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)", "Jump Into the Fog" , "Anti-D" , "Techno Fan" and "Our Perfect Disease", released on 24 September 2010, 24 January 2011, 11 April 2011 , 20 June 2011 and 14 August 2011 respectively. "1996" has been revealed as the sixth song to be released from the album set to be released on the 7 of November 2011. Production comes from Rich Costey, Eric Valentine, Butch Walker, Jacknife Lee and the band themselves. Critical reception: Mark Beaumont of BBC Music gave the album a positive review by saying, Just as comedy actors, no matter how massive their crowd-draw or how enjoyable their movies, stand a popsicle-in-Hell's chance of ever winning an Oscar, it's virtually unthinkable that the second album from Liverpool's The Wombats will grace the higher echelons of any end-of-year polls or the Mercury shortlist. They cross too many boxes -- they're shamelessly radio-friendly and insanely melodic, they have a 'wacky' name and they're simply too popular/ist to garner much of a credible critical vote. On the contrary, that scraping sound you can hear is the widespread music media dragging their shovels towards This Modern Glitch intending to bury -- largely unheard and with extreme prejudice -- the leading exponents of what the trolls have deemed "landfill indie".
