One of the major themes of this album is the response to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. "Heaven Is a Better Place Today" doubles as a tribute to Dan Snyder, a player for the Atlanta Thrashers hockey team who died in an automobile accident nine months before the album's release, and for young men being sent to war.

The Hip performed a rough version of the song "It Can't be Nashville Every Night" on a season two episode of Canadian situation comedy TV program Corner Gas, as a local band renting out main character Brent Leroy's garage for band practice.

Cover art

The album cover art was designed by Cameron Tomsett,[7] a Canadian artist from Kingston.

gollark: I don't know how to actually implement the thing it says about identifying things uniquely by "a sequence of numbers which says where to turn at each intersection", since it seems like you'd need a way to convert them into a unique/canonical form for that to actually work.
gollark: I looked at that, yes.
gollark: I just picked it several years ago because it looked cool.
gollark: Maybe I should clarify, I mean that the rooms are the cells (quadrilaterals) in this, not the vertices.
gollark: You can nest them infinitely, it would be weird for that to not work.
