[edit] Song Information
- The narration on "IQ Test" was recorded by guitarist Phil Merriman.
- "Stupid?" is a sarcastic take on what the band should be doing at this point in their career, and the music scene they are involved with.
- The futuristic-sounding instrument heard throughout "The Future" is a theremin which was recorded by Arthur Harrison for the album.
- "Sleeping Bag" is about the band's touring van which is still barely functioning.
- The lyrics to "Brainmelter" were written by bassist Chad Fjerstad and are heavily influenced by Ken Russell's 1980 film Altered States.
- "Cropgrower" was influenced by Jonathan Hunt's time working in the corn fields in Iowa.
- "Doombox" is about the female sex organ and the women who use, abuse, and manipulate men with its powers.
