- All other songs were band created during the recording session - a song a day for 14 days.
- A music video was made for "Fade".
- The controversial unreleased track, "Quality Control" is included on Tape Head, only now the song is titled "Happy". The majority of the lyrics are now different, including the lack of profanity.
- The album cover picture is that of Doug Pinnick wrapped in recording tape.
- The song "Walter Bela Farkas" was recorded live 8.8.1996 at Tramps NYC. They did the "gag" at every show that tour, but the recording took place in New York.
- "World" is a reworked song from their Sneak Preview demos.

gollark: Is the thing with the hovery clock still above where the computer should go?
gollark: Does he still have it?
gollark: Broke it how?
