Arguable the most jingoistic propaganda album ever produced, featuring the hit singles "Pounding on the Palace Door (But, Wait, There's More)", a poppy song about killing Saddam Hussein and his whole family with shotgun fire and Tomahawk missiles, and "Revenge is Coming, Mohammed", a song calling for the extension of the war into every single country in the Middle East.
A special edition limited release included the controversial "parody" song, "Fuck Iraq", based on Bob Seger's "Like a Rock", recorded live at one of Deerbone's surprise acoustic concerts.

Revenge is Coming Tour
The "Revenge is Coming" support tour sported controversy in some regions with its grim depictions of death and dismemberment, including a prolonged sequence where Kyle Deerbone smashed his guitar over effigies of Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, and "other undesirable critters" before setting them on fire, all while calling on the crowd to tell him who America is gonna crush next. Several squirrels met their ends at the hand of stage hands during these shows, their blood splashed on stage in the final orgy of fireworks and exploding speakers.
