[edit] Trivia

• The original version of "Whitehorse" included a sample of Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic" which could not be cleared for their major label release. A similar loop was recreated in the studio.
• The Kaleidoscope Superior album cover is designed to be viewed like one would a 3-D comic book. Press kits and select packagings of the album came with special 3-D glasses with which to view the cover.
• The advance promotional version of Kaleidoscope Superior (with a blue CD as opposed to the pink retail version) has a the original version of a guitar riff in "Osmosis Land" that is flipped backwards in its retail version.
• The music video for "One Time" was filmed in a Nashville airport and featured Adam LaClave's dog Charlie.
