[edit] General info

  • The bottom portion of the album cover is an upside-down picture of the band in the sea. The top portion is the "GAZ" in Fugazi from Ian MacKaye's amplifier.
  • The robotic voice during "Combination Lock" is probably made using a keyboard shown in the film Instrument. In one scene, Brendan Canty and Guy Picciotto can be seen in studio playing with the device. In the song, the voice says "I forgot my combination". Canty is also shown playing the drum-beat to this song solo during one scene.
  • The unusual sound in "Version" is Picciotto playing the clarinet, which has then been artificially dubbed throughout the song.
  • In the film Instrument Joe Lally can be heard singing the song "By You" in a higher register than it was eventually recorded.
