Trivia

The main difference between Being Ridden and BR Instrumentals, except for the duct tape covering Kidwell's mouth, is the track listing.

These tracks only appear on Being Ridden and are replaced by Stamina, Other Countries and Nevermind. The three songs are on track 7, 10 and 13 on both albums.

An instrumental version of Stamina appears on the Venetian Snares album 2370894.
