"Never Miss a Beat" and "You Want History" premiered on the band's UK Arena Tour in the winter of 2007.

The lyric "Off with Their Heads" appears in the first verse of "Like It Too Much". The album was uploaded with 30 second previews of each song, apart from Never Miss a Beat which included a full recording, on the music social networking site Last.fm on 9th October 2008.
