*In the chorus of the song "Icarus", the Greek mythology story of
Icarus and his father Daedalus is mentioned.*The songs "Breathe from Coma" and "The Ones", were written in the span of twelve hours and recorded soon after.
*"Owl" has veiled references to taking drugs, However the song "Per Sempre Marciamo" is from the perspective of a friend of the drug addict, showing a much darker story.
*Drummer Adam Baker joined the band about three days before entering the studio to record A Types. Before that he had played bass in support of some tours during "the satellite years" era.
