The album only had one single taken from it, "Stone by Stone", which was reminiscent of their 1998 smash "Road Rage". Ironically, the ending of the video for Stone by Stone features the band members all abandoning their instruments and walking away from it all. The band had announced on their website that the next single was to be the guitar-crashing Cerys-screeching Is Everybody Here On Drugs, although the announcement was quickly removed once it was clear the Catatonia had reached the end of the road.

The band were unable to promote the album, albeit with the exception of an appearance on Later...with Jools Holland and a few performances of 'Stone by Stone', as Cerys Matthews was being treated for alcohol and smoking problems.

The album's cover and in-sleeve photos were taken from the film, "Tiger Bay", which starred Hayley Mills. Hayley was given a thank-you in the album.

The album was dedicated to close friend and roadie Barry Cawley, who was killed in a road accident on his bicycle in Betws-y-Coed, North Wales in July 2000. The track, "Imaginary Friend", was written about him.

The album title refers to the game "Rock, Paper, Scissors".
