[edit] Notes/Trivia
- Track 3, "W.T.Y.D." stands for Welcome to Your Death.
- The album was re-released twice: 1998 with 3 demo tracks as bonus tracks and again on September 9, 2003 in a two-disc compilation set along with Never, Neverland, entitled Alice in Hell/Never Neverland.
- The title of the album appears to be a parody of Alice in Wonderland, but not the famous grunge band Alice in Chains because they did not release their first album until a year after this album.
- The song "Alison Hell" is based on the true story of a little girl who had the fear of seeing the boogeyman at night. Her parents ignored her pleas for comfort and she gradually went insane.
