Many of the songs deal with the aftermath of the bitter divorce that Tim Kasher experienced. Much of his divorce is also documented on the 2000 Cursive album Domestica.

The album Black Out was referred to in the song "Nothing Gets Crossed Out", on Bright Eyes's 2002 album Lifted: Yeah, Tim, I heard your album and it's better than good./When we get off tour I think we should hang and Black Out together...

The song "Drinking with the Girls" is used in the Emogame as one of the main songs.
