[edit] Notes

• Track 10 (O.D.H.G.A.B.F.E.) is an acronym for "Officer Dick Head Gets a Black Fucking Eye."
• The song "Black Label" is featured in Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
• There is no separate guitarist named "Duane". Duane is a nickname for Mark Morton that was written in the line-up in the Metal Blade Records / Prosthetic release of "New American Gospel".
• Though there are lyrics for track 4 (Letter To the Unborn), they remain unprinted to this day because, according to vocalist Randy Blythe, they are extremely personal, concerning the death of the daughter of his ex-wife and were written before her death. Due to all of this, he did not want anyone to know the exact lyrics of that song.
