Perspective

The album was re-released[8] on March 21, 2006, as a CD/DVD with expanded Grammy-nominated artwork, two hours of extra footage, and "ShaunLuu" as bonus track which was also featured on the Masters of Horror soundtrack.[9] This track was originally set to be 7 minutes long, but had to be cut short for the soundtrack. On the re-release, on a CD player, if rewind is held down until the display reads -2:20, there is a hidden instrumental song.

Music videos were filmed for the songs "Bayonetwork: Vultures in Vivid Color",[10] "Liarsenic: Creating a Universe of Discourse"[11] and "Absentimental: Street Clam".[12]

The track "Pretendeavor: In Reference to a Sinking Ship" was previously released on a Solid State Records sampler called This Is Solid State: Vol. 5 under the name "In Reference to a Sinking Ship",[13][14][15] and was the first recorded output with new vocalist Cory Brandan. It was re-recorded with new parts and riffs for the album.

The song "Absentimental: Street Clam" was previously known as "Manipulateral: Street Clam".

In the liner notes of the original release of the album the full title of the album is listed as "O'God, The Aftermath: The Marvelous End of the Exhausted Contender".

All song titles are portmanteaux.[5]

The words featured on the cover of the CD are the lyrics to the song "Coffinspire: Multitude, Multitudes in the Valley of Decision", which is from Joel 3:13 - 16.
