Facts
- 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.
- 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".

gollark: Also, this leads me to suspect that the thing uses "division" in some way.
gollark: I actually have a log of all the "worthless" ones by accident, so I think this might allow more analysis of what the bees is used to determine bid worthiness.
