  • "Endsmouth" is a tribute to the Oni Press comic Neil Gaiman's Only the End of the World Again, which references the Cthulhu Mythos.
  • The ending from "Phantom Green" is from Tim Burton's film Ed Wood (1994). It is not the actual clip from Bride of the Monster.
  • The track "Dead Girl" is an electric guitar arrangement and cover of an acoustic track from Acid Bath's Paegan Terrorism Tactics.
  • "Cosmic Dancer" is a T. Rex cover.
  • "Big Black Backwards" and "Slave Riot" feature clips from the movie Gummo.
