The album was released on 10" vinyl and CD; a 12" version was eventually released. The CD version is an enhanced CD containing a photo gallery, a music video for "Saint Matthew Returns to the Womb" and album credits. It was released in a digipak case as well as a standard jewel case.

The song "Afghamistam" is mostly a departure from previous work, featuring subdued vocals, piano and overdubbed spoken word segments.
