In mid-September, a music video was filmed for "Big Casino", which starred the band performing in a wasteland. From here until the album's release, the group went on a North American tour.

The UK version included "Be Sensible" and "Distraction" as bonus tracks, while the Japanese version included both of these, with the addition of "Beautiful Is".
