Trivia

In "The Thing That Only Eats Hippies," the band states that "Bob and Greg and Grant, you should beware." This is a reference to Hüsker Dü, a punk trio from Minneapolis that featured Bob Mould on guitar and vocals, Greg Norton on bass, and Grant Hart on drums and vocals.

The cover of the album was designed a year prior to the release by a friend of the band (and Drexel University art student) Brooke Heiser.
