[edit] Miscellanea
- "Tranquility Bay" is not about being trapped as a sex slave, but about a real life "reformatory school" in Jamaica called Tranquility Bay.
- When the band performed "Changing" on the David Letterman show, the word fucking slipped past the sensors and caused a minor stir at the network
- "Sittin' on a Hill Waiting for Doomsday to Come" is about a man in Riverside County, California who believes the end times are upon us. He sits all day in a chair outside his trailer and writes his thoughts down. The band actually met him and the voice on the song is the actual ramblings of the man
