In the November 2006 issue of Q, U2 frontman Bono recognized the track "Almighty Love" as one of six songs that he wished he had written from the last twenty years of music.

Gryner collaborated with Larson in the band Hot One and appeared on the group's self-titled album in 2006.

[...]' For Joe, this is the most important track on Drastic Symphonies. 'It's an absolutely brand new version,' he says[...]" She also appeared with Def Leppard and the BBC Concert Orchestra on BBC Radio 2's Piano Room in support of the album, performing Pour Some Sugar On Me, Hysteria, and Bowie's Life On Mars.
