This 2014 release strips down Hawthorne Heights' 2004 debut to its acoustic-catalyzed core. The reinterpretations highlight the band's melodic strengths and lyrical narratives.
- The album was released on April 15, 2014, by InVogue Records. It features acoustic versions of songs from the band's 2004 debut, "The Silence in Black and White." The release was part of a series where Hawthorne Heights re-recorded their earlier albums.
- The acoustic versions were recorded and produced by the band members themselves. The album saw the band working with InVogue Records, a label known for its association with pop-punk and emo scenes. This marked a departure from their major label work on their earlier albums.
- Fans noted the raw emotion and vulnerability present in the acoustic renditions. The album served as a way for the band to connect with their long-time fanbase, offering a new perspective on familiar material. It arrived during a period where acoustic EPs and re-recordings were becoming increasingly common in the rock scene.
