Background
¡Mayday! signed to Strange Music in April 2011. Take Me To Your Leader was announced in late 2011 after ¡Mayday! appeared on 3 tracks of Tech N9ne's Welcome to Strangeland: "The Noose", "Retrogression" and "EMJ (Emotional Musical Journey)".
Reception
Travis O'Guin, CEO of Strange Music, considers the album to be the best work ever released on the label, going on to say he only felt this way before about Tech N9ne's Anghellic. HipHopDX gave the album 4 stars out of 5, describing it as "an extremely well-written album that actually means something".
