Trivia

• The song "Mad at the World" uses the same chord progression (but in a lower tuning) as "My Kinda Woman" by Mr. Big which was released on Lean into It.
• The song "Godzilla" is a cover of Blue Öyster Cult, and includes a brief interpolation of David Bowie's "Fame".
• The album was mixed by former Racer X guitar player Bruce Bouillet.
• The track "Evil Joe" contains samples from a prank call made by a friend of Gilbert's to Joe Aufricht of the black metal band Satanicon. The call in its entirety appears as a bonus track on Mushroomhead's 1999 album M3 under the title "Dark and Evil Joe".
