## I brani

* "I Didn't Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard" era originariamente intitolata "A Final Opinion is of Less Value Than an Appreciation of and Tolerance for Obscurity", cioè come un verso del ritornello della canzone.
* "Teeth the Size of Piano Keys" è stata ispirata dal poema "I'm in Love" di Charles Bukowski. Tra i versi che hanno ispirato la canzone, compaiono: "...I dropped all my lovers. I stood up [in a cafe] and screamed I'M IN LOVE" e "...through the eyes: hatred, centuries deep and true. I was wrong [and] graceless and sick. All the things I had learned had been wasted. There was no living creature as foul as I and all my poems were false."
* Nick Martin, della band Underminded, ha cantato come ospite sulle tracce "Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered" e "The Undertaker's Thirst for Revenge Is Unquenchable (The Final Battle)".
* Jesse Korman, della band The Number 12 Looks Like You, ha cantato come ospite sulle tracce "Is It Progression If a Cannibal Uses a Fork?" e "Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered".
