[edit] Additional notes
- "Kid Nothing vs. The Echo Factor" is a commentary on mainstream rap music from Travis' point of view as a rapper himself.
- "Cupid's Chokehold" samples extensively from Supertramp's song "Breakfast in America".
- "Taxi Driver" is an homage to other contemporary bands in the indie rock and emo genres.
- The video for "Cupid's Chokehold" first debuted on MTV's TRL as being on "The Paperback Chronicles".
- The Papercut Chronicles version of the Cupid's Chokehold video was directed by Andrew Paul Bowser who would later co-direct the "New Friend Request" video with Joseph M. Petrick for their album "As Cruel As School Children."
