The album had more sounds heavy metal than their previous album. Before the release of Scream Aim Fire, the band stated that it album would be considerably heavier than The Poison. Scream Aim Fire has fewer screaming songs than its predecessor, partly because of the problem lead singer Matthew Tuck had with his tonsils.

Additionally, the album hit No. 4 on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of about 53,000.

This album is also very popular for their ballad song called "Say Goodnight". Matt Tuck stated that this was one of his favorite songs to perform live, even though the song was never released as a single or video. Sometimes when performed live they either play the whole song with the opening solos, or they have Matt Tuck starting the song of by playing the song cleanly on his guitar. After a while the band appears later with the heavy parts.

Famous quotes containing the words music, style and/or background:
“On the first days, like a piece of music that one will later be mad about, but that one does not yet distinguish, that which I was to love so much in [Bergotte’s] style was not yet clear to me. I could not put down the novel that I was reading, but I thought that I was only interested in the subject, as in the first moments of love when one goes every day to see a woman at some gathering, or some pastime, by the amusements to which one believes to be attracted.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
