[edit] Overview

There are no "soundscape" tracks on Life is Killing Me, but there is a brief instrumental track titled "Drunk in Paris." There are two tracks featured on the album about Steele's parents. "Todd's Ship Gods (Above All Things)" is named after the ship yard his father worked in, while "Nettie" is named after his mother. The band covers the song "Angry Inch" from the off Broadway musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The album also contains a cover of the interstitial music from television's The Munsters. Track 11 of the album is titled "IYDKMIGTHTKY (Gimme That)." The acronym IYDKMIGTHTKY is believed to stand for "If You Don't Kill Me I'm Going To Have To Kill You," since it is the most repeated phrase in the song, other than "Gimme That."

The album leaked onto the internet before release, upsetting keyboardist Josh Silver to the point where he released a message online complaining that the leak essentially takes revenue from the band which was received by many as a discredit to the band's fans.
