Trivia

*The album's hidden track is a cover of the theme to "Jem", an American animated series from the 1980s.
*The robotic voice spelling the word "Freezepop" at the beginning of "I am Not Your Gameboy" is being produced by a Speak & Spell.
*At the end of the "Freezepop on Tour" featurette, the band members smash a guitar and break the keys off of a keyboard during end of the song "Get Ready 2 Rokk". Liz Enthusiasm bites off the head of a stuffed animal, a reference to Ozzy Osbourne biting off the head of a bat in 1982. The final riffs of "Get Ready 2 Rokk" are actually a take on the song "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath, a band of which Osbourne was the lead singer.
