Background

Singer Andy Brown said of the album title; "The word "Perspective" was the perfect album title, you know with everything I've been through personally over the last few years health-wise and changing perspective on life, so couldn't have been more perfect for me."[2] The standard version of the album was released via iTunes[3] while an exclusive version of the album containing seven bonus tracks was released as part of a box set through the band's official store.[4]
