Music videos were released for "Tomorrow's World", "Milkman's Son", and "Cloudy Skies".
Critical reception
Trouser Press noted that singer Whitfield Crane adopted "a new and nasty W. Axl Rose vocal affliction on some songs", and wrote that the band "reintroduce themselves as a growly, serious rock lot attempting to fill the gap left by the Gunners' silence". The Washington Post called the album "more varied and tuneful than its predecessor".
