  • Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins provides guest vocals for the track "It's High Tide Baby".
  • The track "You and Your Friends vs Me and the Revolution" is named after a line from the Chappelle's Show Prince sketch by Charlie Murphy. The quote is sampled by the band at the beginning of the song.
  • Instead of saying "The Blackout!The Blackout!The Blackout!" on the album's spine, it actually reads "The Blackout!The Blackout!The Blckout!" The band did not recall the album to rectify the mistake, instead continuing to produce and release it with as it was. However, the Japanese edition of the album (released March 2007) has the title spelt correctly.
  • The Japanese release's acoustic version of 'It's High Tide Baby!' also features as the B-side to the mini-album's only released single, 'Hard Slammin.
  • The track "I'm a Riot? You're a Fucking Riot!" is taken from comedian Dane Cook's second stand-up album, Retaliation.
