[edit] Notes

  • Track #1, "Sowing Season," is a remade version of "Untitled 08 (Yeah)" of the New Album Demos, and is the first single of the album.
  • Track #4, "Degausser," was played on the Summer 2006 tour under the name "Take Apart Your Head."
  • Track #9, "Luca," is a remade version of "Untitled 06 (Mamas)" of the New Album Demos. The song title refers to the character Luca Brasi of The Godfather.
  • The UK bonus track "Luca (Reprisal Version)" is a mastered version of "Untitled 06 (Mamas)" of the New Album Demos. It has not been remade, unlike the other version of Luca on the album.
  • The name of the album came from a conversation Jesse Lacey was having with his friend regarding their friend who is a schizophrenic.[3]
  • All of the lyrics on this album were written by Jesse Lacey, except "Handcuffs," which was written by Vincent Accardi.
  • On the album, if you rewind the first song "Sowing Season" just over a minute, you can hear a hidden track of phone conversations, seemingly between Brand New and producer Mike Sapone.
  • The album is dedicated to 15 people who died during the recording of the record, who are listed in the booklet; Robert Sherman, Red Lacey, Leo Lacey, Bill and Virginia Sherman, James McAuliffe, Rosemary Kancelerski, Frances Ambrosio, Manfred Cardone III, Sid Rosen, Seymour Lane, Michelle Lane, George Moe, Alexander Lambros, and Omar Ortega.
  • No lyrics are included with the release, instead asking for $1 sent to Brand New (P.O. Box #2619, New York, NY 10108) for a full copy of the lyrics; this practice is similar to that of Weezer, who used to ask for a self-addressed envelope for lyrics.
  • The album, when pre-ordered online or bought from selected retailers, came with the limited edition CD single for Sowing Season backed with the b-side "Coca-Cola."
  • Unusually, the outside of the cardboard case contains no song listings, and doesn't contain the name of the album or the band name anywhere but on the spine. The record company instead placed stickers on the cellophane to indicate the name of the album and band, and on the UK version to indicate that it had the bonus track.
