"Vlad the Impaler" was made available as a free download from the official website from 31st March to 3rd April 2009. The first proper, physical release from the album was "Fire", which was released on the 1st of June.Sergio Pizzorno has called the 52-minute album "the soundtrack to an imaginary movie."
Opening with the track "Underdog", the album also includes a duet, on the track "West Ryder Silver Bullet", with the actress Rosario Dawson.
The album cover depicts the band "getting dressed up for a party at the asylum, looking in the mirror at the costumes". Inspiration for such cover originated from the artwork of Amon Düül II's album Made In Germany.
The album entered the UK Album Chart at #1, giving the band their second #1 album. It remained at the top of the charts for several weeks, only knocked off by the sharp increase in sales of Michael Jackson albums following his death.
The album was nominated for the 2009 Mercury Prize. In October 2009 it was voted the best album of the year by Q Magazine.
