The inner sleeve includes a modified version of the painting Christ's Entry into Jerusalem by William Gale (1823–1909),[4] in which one onlooker holds a sign with the words "Dirk Hofman Motorhomes". This is a reference to a man who holds such a sign at the finish of European cycling races.[citation needed]
Critical reception
In a review for BBC, critic reviewer Luke Slater called the album the band's "most consistently brilliant work yet in every aspect, and another start-to-finish showcase of rare genius".[5] The Quietus called it "probably their best, certainly their most consistent album".[6]

Notes
- Bisodol is a brand of indigestion tablet [7]
- Crimond is a village in Aberdeenshire, Scotland; whose name was adopted for a hymn tune by Jessie Seymour Irvine, most associated with a verse paraphrase of Psalm 23, "The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want" [8]
- The alleged producer, Nelson Burt, was a nine-year-old boy (son of Albin R. Burt) who drowned in the Mersey Hurricane of 1822, and whose grave is in the churchyard of St Lawrence's Church, Stoak; as mentioned in the song "The Unfortunate Gwatkin" on the 2014 album Urge for Offal by Half Man Half Biscuit
- The song title "Something's Rotten in the Back of Iceland" parodies the line "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", spoken by Marcellus in Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 4
- The song title "Excavating Rita" parodies that of the 1980 play Educating Rita by Willy Russell.
- The song title "L'enfer c'est les autres" is a quotation from the 1944 existentialist French play Huis Clos by Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980); in English, "Hell is other people"
- "Wools" is a shortening of Woollybacks, an expression in Merseyside English which refers to people from neighbouring areas [9]
