Overdubbing
Jimmy Urine explained that the album was recorded on 2 DAT tapes. Due to this, some of the live drums (not prerecorded drums) were lost in the recording, as well as bass. MSI re-recorded guitar tracks and some vocals (when Jimmy Urine lost his breath, or any other parts where he stopped singing).
