It celebrates the 25th anniversary of their first album How Could Hell Be Any Worse?, although the band had been around for twenty-seven years.

Another one of the reasons why the band had yet to release a follow-up to The Empire Strikes First was their various other activities, most obviously frontman Greg Graffin's, who released one solo album in 2006. Gregory Walter Graffin, PhD (born November 6, 1964 in Racine Wisconsin) is the vocalist and co-founder of the Punk rock band Cold as the Clay is the second solo album by Bad Religion 's vocalist Greg Graffin released on July 10, 2006 in Europe and the
