 with six bonus tracks, featuring songs recorded by the group before their debut release. Many believed the vinyl version was re-issued in 2001, possibly because the back of the vinyl release says "2001 superegular", this is however a nod to the forward-thinking aspects of the album. The album lightly touches on religious corruption and violence, but not nearly to the level of their more well-received, and better produced sophomore effort (most of the braggadocio being in regards to lyrical skill, and not physical threats). Primarily the album focuses on references to astronomy, history and physics.
