Trivia & Facts

*This album was original conceived as a double album (2 discs) but Carter guitarist Les "Fruitbat" Carter felt double albums were a chore in general to listen through from start to finish, so the plan was scrapped.
* Many of the songs released on the album were demo versions (recorded in Fruitbat’s home studio) and not final studio recording, as the band had parted ways before they had completed work on the album. Carter decided not to scrap the material but rather to release it as it stood.
* "I Blame the Government" was recorded with a seven member line-up rather that just a two member line-up which that had used on their early recordings, although Jim Bob and Fruitbat the two original members remained at the core of the process.

Singles

This is the only Carter album not to see any singles released from it, although Fruitbat has stated that he felt there were a couple of song that could have been singles had the band not split before its release.
