[edit] Notes

• The song "Endtime" is one of very few Katatonia recordings to utilize samples, featuring a clip of dialogue from the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining during the latter half of the song's lengthy intro.

Stuart Ullman: Because, for some people solitude and isolation can, of itself, become a problem.

Jack Torrance: Not for me.
