This album was written and produced in 2004 and is inspired by American politics, including topics such as the war in Iraq and George Bush's presidency.
Therefore the artwork on the front cover reflects both the themes as well as a lyric in one of their songs; "She's holding onto my heart like a hand grenade"
The digipak itself includes a booklet in which the lyrics are displayed in a handwritten font to seem as if they were the final drafts of the song.
This makes the whole feel of the album seem more realistic due to the heavy topics carried out in their songs "American Idiot" and "Holiday" about American politics.
