* About the title: "I think it's just a great representation of everything that making this album has felt like. There's not really anything holding me down. I feel free, and as a writer, like, Terry (Balsamo, guitarist) completely lifts me up in my writing and we had fun with it. Every kind of chance you could take, we just went ahead and took it, and had a great time." - Amy Lee.
* Touring will start in Europe in September 2006, then move to the US/Canada in October.
* "All That I'm Living For" was co-written by John LeCompt.
