A video for the cover of Slade's "When the Lights Are Out" has been released. The song was released exclusively through iTunes Australia in November 2008.[7] The video is also available for viewing via the band's YouTube page. A video was also made for "Sick Man of Europe".
The track "Sleep Forever" was written in memory of a friend who died,[8] "Miss Tomorrow" was originally a B-side from Robin Zander's eponymous 1993 solo album, taken from the "Show Me Heaven" single,[9] while "Sick Man of Europe" was one of the band names used by Nielsen and Petersson in the early 1970s. "Everyday You Make Me Crazy" was originally written by the band as a Pepsi jingle from 1995[10] while "Alive" is a re-worked version of "What's in It for You", an outtake from the band's previous 2006 album Rockford.
The Latest is the final studio album by the band to feature original drummer Bun E. Carlos.
