"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.[4]

The album title is taken from a 1977 Mel Brooks movie of the same name.[5]

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.[6]

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.[7]
