Notes/Trivia

* Track 10, "Like Sand Thru the Hourglass...So Are the Days of Our Lives", is named after the quote from the opening sequence of "Days of our Lives". Also, the song quotes the line from the 1989 film "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", where Socrates speaks out in Greek, which the subtitles translate as "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives."
* Track 19, "Delores", is a hidden track and not mentioned in the back of the album. The title is tagged on some software-based audio players and CD rippers that use CD lookup databases, such as CDDB or Freedb.
