It is the last album to feature Andreas Halvardsson as drummer, and the first with trombonist Daniel Hedin and trumpeter Martin Isaksson. However Hedin and Isaksson joined the band as full-time members in 2011 only, with Sing Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious becoming the last album with the band being a sextet.
All songs are credited to Diablo Swing Orchestra; however, according to singer and guitarist Daniel Håkansson, the songs were mostly written by him and other guitarist Pontus Mantefors.[http://www.femmemetal.net/diabloswingorchestraint.htm] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111218023137/http://www.femmemetal.net/diabloswingorchestraint.htm |date=December 18, 2011 }}
