The title of the album comes from track 9, which deals with the Attack on Pearl Harbor. The album was released the day before Pearl Harbor Day 2011. Stout claims this was intentional.
Though, as discussed on track 14, there is no profanity up to that point in the album, the abrasive subject matter and controversial ideas still earned the record an EXPLICIT rating on iTunes and Amazon.
