Notes
- The LP version was originally released in Europe on Repo Records in 2004.
- Tracks "Happy Birthday", "Horror Show", "Video Kid" and "The Dream" are all somewhat reworked versions of their equivalents on the band's previous album Nothing and Nowhere.
- Videos for both "Blue" and "Nevermind" were produced. "Blue" is an elaborate story-based video while "Nevermind" is a straightforward performance video, both of which were released on the "Blue DVD".
- Although the track list on the CD labels the final track as "Nevermind", if burned on iTunes, the track will be titled "Neverland".
- The band recorded a cover of The NeverEnding Story theme for the album, but left it off after not being pleased with the final result. The only existing version of the song is a low quality mp3 that can be found on P2P file sharing systems, or on their original EP under the name Imagica.
- On the 2004 release of Violet, Adm is pictured in the booklet as the keyboardist. On the 2005 re-release, he is removed from the booklet picture because he had left the band by that time.
- The track "Happy Birthday" was featured in the eighth episode of the first season of The Vampire Diaries, "162 Candles.",[13]
