[edit] Trivia

• The spoken line in the middle of Never Coming Down (Part II), "Everybody in the world is bent", comes from the 1969 movie The Italian Job. The movie also features jail inmates clapping out the rhythm used in this song.
• The lead-in to "In The Meantime" features a slighted distorted sample of the loop used in "Telephone and Rubber Band" by Penguin Café Orchestra.
