"High Anxiety" was the first album to feature drummer Neil Cooper, and the last recorded with guitarist/cellist Martin McCarrick, who departed in 2004. The album has a similar production value to Troublegum, and is a return to that album's sense of melodic punk.
The album title is taken from a 1977 Mel Brooks movie of the same name.
The US released limited edition CD-ROM included the video of If It Kills Me. The album reached number 113 in the UK Albums Chart.
The album was released on CD and cassette.
Polish label Metal Mind Productions re-released the album on 2 November 2009. The album was remastered using 24-Bit technology, limited to 1000 copies, on a gold disk digipak CD.
