Notes
- The track "Outafter" is dedicated to Brandon Lee. It was originally to be used as a Skinny Puppy song for the movie The Crow, though plans fell through. Lee was also a Puppy fan.
- "Fire This Ground" is subtitled as "Puppy Gristle, Pt. 1", referring to the 1994 jam between Skinny Puppy and members of Psychic TV/Throbbing Gristle, which was later released as the Skinny Puppy album Puppy Gristle.
- The inside cover contains a quote from French poet Charles Baudelaire:
- "that which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal: from which it follows that irregularity - that is to say, the unexpected, surprise and astonishment, are an essential part and characteristic of beauty"
- The track "Collision" contains a notably contrasting part which is more harmonic and rhythmically concise than the rest of the track. The initiating rhythmic loop of this "embedded" part begins exactly 7 minutes and 7 seconds into the track. "Collision" being track 7 arguably indicates a deliberate choice of timing.
gollark: In physics your theory might get obsoleted by another one later, in engineering and whatever there are endless tradeoffs, but in maths you can confidently say (if you prove it and a lot of people check it I guess) that thing Y follows from axioms X.
gollark: Maths is pretty much the *one* subject where you can go around talking about ultimate universal truths.
gollark: Idea: at high enough energy do conspiracies merge into a grand unified conspiracy theory?
gollark: Indeed, although they do generally work on the principle of getting your immune system to deal with them.
gollark: Indirectly? Lots of them subsidize agriculture.
