Production
- The album's title was inspired by the song "Typical Sagittarius", which the band wrote for the album, but chose not to include in the final cut.[10] Other songs recorded but left off of the finished album include "I Can Translate" which was released as a B-Side on the limited "Jam It in the Hole" single and as a bonus track on European iTunes downloads of the album. The band also recorded a cover of "The Warrior" by Scandal which they originally planned to make available as a free internet download.[11] It was ultimately included on their 2015 compilation album Mimicry and Memories.
- Although the album cover was presumed by some to be a photo of lead singer Dick Valentine, it is in fact a stock photo that was licensed for use as the album cover.[12]
