Trivia

"Play It Loud" was featured on the SSX3 soundtrack and the Hilary Duff movie Raise Your Voice.
The album cover is a possible tribute to the cover of the Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers, which does not show hands. Another possible tribute is to the cover of Chocolate and Cheese by Ween.
Portions of the Japanese bonus track "Family Affair" appear on the track "Before" although "Family Affair" was not released on the U.S. version of the record.
"First Day of the Rest of Our Lives" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie A Cinderella Story.
There is a backwards message toward the end of the song "It's Alright." When reversed there is a guy saying "And then one night, I just jumped off."
"Well Adjusted" was featured in a Pepsi commercial.
