[edit] Notes/trivia

  • The promotional version of the album features an alternate version of the song "Seven Ways to Sunday".
  • Dicky Barrett has said in interviews that the title of the album (and by extension, the first song) upset his mother greatly, as her maiden name was Swan, as was her mother's.
  • A different version of "The Old School Off The Bright" was originally featured on a promotional EP titled "Fabled Barney and The Population" given out at the band's Hometown Throwdown in 2002.
