The track "Baby" is composed solely of samples of baby noises. When Quality Time was uploaded to the music sharing website MP3.com, the track stirred controversy within the website's community, with users calling the band "extremely pretentious" and the track "one of the worst forms of electronic creations [they'd] ever heard".
