[edit] Notes

• The track "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.

• The song '12' is a re-recorded version of the song 'Black Erotica' from the W.A.R. Compilation Volume 1 (1995) The song can also be found on the 2004 Compilation 'Brave Yesterdays'
• The original version of the record went to pressing unmastered. In 2006, Peaceville Records released a mastered version of the album and included the Sounds of Decay EP as bonus tracks. The remastered edition also includes new lineer notes by Anders Nyström.
