[edit] Trivia

  • "Never Here" is allegedly about singer Justine's chaotic relationship with Suede frontman Brett Anderson.
  • B-side "See That Animal" was included on the American release and is a reworking of a very early (and unreleased) Suede song called "Going Blonde".
  • "2:1" was featured on the soundtrack to the film Trainspotting and was originally performed as an instrumental only.
  • "S.O.F.T." stands for "Same Old Fucking Thing".
  • "Car Song" was featured in an episode titled "Teach Me Tonight" of the popular TV show Gilmore Girls.
  • The album art was inspiration for the cover of Issue 1 of the Image Comics series, Phonogram.
