[edit] Additional Notes

  • The album was released using two different album covers. The original was deemed too graphic by major retails and refused to sell the album unless the artwork was changed. The alternate cover was chosen to be sold in major retailers. It is possible to purchase the album with the original artwork.
  • The last track, Death Sex, is, for the majority of the song at least, a noise track. Guitar distortion is played for minutes on end, amounting to around 5 minutes before another section including drums comes in, then will go back to the distortion for another 5 minutes or so.
  • Peaked at position 97 on The Billboard 200, November 01, 2003
  • The song "Beat Your Heart Out" was a part of the Tony Hawk's Underground 2 soundtrack.
  • The song "Dismantle Me" was a part of the MTX: Mototrax soundtrack.
