The cover art was originally the three nuns holding shotguns (as seen in the ads handed out at Ozzfest 2006), but the artwork was deemed inappropriate and was changed to three nuns playing a game of pool. The band's signature skull, featured on their logo, can be seen reflecting off the 8 ball on the table.

Stylistically, this album blends the hard-rock, balls-out attitude of Mafia ("Concrete Jungle," "Black Mass Reverends") with the more mellow/acoustic affair of Hangover Music Vol.1 ("The Last Goodbye," "Nothing's The Same").

Quotes and Recording

"I never run out of ideas," Zakk says. "We just came in here and started knocking it out. That's how you make records." That take-no-prisoners attitude is all over such snarling tracks as "Concrete Jungle", "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" and "Give Yourself To Me", while reflective ballads like "Lead Me To Your Door" and "Sick Of It All" mix moody melodies with screaming guitar solos. "It's a real cool mix of heavy shit and mellow shit," Zakk explains.

During the recording of "Shot To Hell", Zakk and crew turned Ameraycan Studios in North Hollywood, CA into a cross between a Guitar Center and a teenage boy's bedroom. "We had a Mellotron in here, a Hammond B-3, a ton of Marshalls and just about every guitar I own," Zakk recalls. "It looked like 'Sanford and Son' out in the parking lot — a whole garage-sale going on with the equipment, you know? And we had pictures taped up on the walls of Randy Rhoads and Jimmy Page, just for inspiration, because you've still gotta listen to music with a fourteen-year-old's ears. Remembering when you were like, 'Dude, we're going to see ZEPPELIN this weekend!' — that's what it's all about, man. Because once you lose that, then you shouldn't be doing it anymore."
