Trivia[]

The song "Stratovolcano Mouth," borrows some elements from the song "Thermacare," aka "The Only Thing You Talk About", a demo done with Craig Owens in late 2009, which leaked in August 2010, which was turned into a song by his new band D.R.U.G.S..
The song "Hey Zeus! The Dungeon" has lyrics that detail story elements of The Phantom of the Opera.
The song entitled "Love is a Cat from Hell" is in reference to Bukowski's collection of poems entitled Love is a Dog from Hell.
The song "Modern Wolf Hair" is a play on words of the title of the videogame Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
The song "Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together" references the title of the Venture Bros' season 3 finale episodes: The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part I) and The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part II).
