Additional information

In the DVD section of this reissue, there is an appearance by the Trailer Park Boys at the Chiodos Madison Square Garden performance, and footage of them shown backstage with the band. There are also live clips of the band at various shows, with the songs "A Letter from Janelle" and "Lexington. (Joey Pea-Pot with a Monkey Face)" played over the performances. The track "Teeth the Size of Piano Keys" was omitted from the reissue "just to mess with people," according to guitarist Pat McManaman. [13] However, it is unclear why the spoken words at the end of "The Undertakers Thirst for Revenge Is Unquenchable (The Final Battle)" are missing. It may be due to possible copyright infringement of uncredited works.

The lyrics to "Teeth the Size of Piano Keys" are an adaptation of the Charles Bukowski poem "I'm in Love" and feature several direct quotations from the poem. [14]

The spoken word segment at the end of "The Undertaker's Thirst for Revenge is Unquenchable" comes from the poem "Empty Is" by Rod McKuen. [15]
