The album features a cover of a Falco song, Rock Me Amadeus, and continued Megaherz's tradition of having one song per album based on a fairy tale with the track Rappunzel, which alludes to the story of the same name. The track Freiflug reuses lyrics from the song Spring in die Schlucht from the Herzwerk album.

The album was re-released in the US in 2005 as II (read as "Two" or "Zwei"), with the handgun removed from the album art. The resulting effect appears as if the clown is reaching for a fist bump.

^ Liebestöter ("Love-killer") a pun on the German word for unattractive underwear.

^ "Bitch" is a slightly inaccurate translation in that Miststück is a non-gender-specific insult, though the context of the song makes it clear that the Miststück is a female. Miststück literally means "piece of crap".

^ Jordan is named for the expression "to cross the Jordan" (Jordan River), meaning "to die".

gollark: ```Oh look, it’s a cute baby... Comrade? It’s impossible to see much of its body through all the flames.Young Comrades are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.```
