*"Pressure" was originally set to be released as a single to promote "A Fine Day to Exit" but the song received no backing from major
radio ortelevision stations. A video was shot for it but was only ever played once on Tommy Vance's rock show on VH-1.
*"Temporary Peace" ends at roughly 6 minutes. The main song ends with the sound of waves crashing on a beach. However, after 2 minutes the band members start amonologue for 2 minutes, making it sound like a "mad person" is talking to himself. The sound of waves remain for 3 minutes of the track. Finally, in the remaining 3 minutes, a hidden song performed with acoustic guitars is played. This is separately titled "In the Dog's House." As they finish singing, theaudio track ends.
*The band recorded an instrumental intro track, somewhat reminiscent of the song "Violence" from their later recordA Natural Disaster , which remains unreleased. However, it can be found online in unmastered form.Credits
