[edit] Notes

  • The track "Outafter" is dedicated to Brandon Lee. It was originally to be used as a Skinny Puppy song for the movie The Crow, though plans fell through. Lee was also a Puppy fan.
  • "Fire This Ground" is subtitled as "Puppy Gristle, Pt. 1", referring to the 1994 jam between Skinny Puppy and members of Psychic TV/Throbbing Gristle, which was later released as the Skinny Puppy album Puppy Gristle.
  • The inside cover contains a quote from French poet Charles Baudelaire:
"that which is not slightly distorted lacks sensible appeal: from which it follows that irregularity - that is to say, the unexpected, surprise and astonishment, are an essential part and characteristic of beauty"
