Trivia
- On the UK release of the album, the song "Motel of the White Locust" is actually entitled "Hotel of the White Locust".
- The song "Pretty Lush" is about an ex-girlfriend of vocalist Daryl Palumbo, whom he claims was a virgin but left him and had sex with a random guy while she was intoxicated. Hence the lyric, "You can lead a whore to water, and you can bet she'll drink and follow orders".
- "Ry Ry's Song" is about a mutual friend of the band who is constantly getting used by women for intercourse.
- The album takes many elements from a few of the members' previous bands, Beck & Weinstock's other band Sons of Abraham and Carrero's previous band Stillsuit.
