The song "Bring the Pain" is a cover of a Method Man song from his album Tical . The song "Bite Your Rhymes" references lyrics from Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby". There is a hidden track,"JX-47",where guitarist Steve plays acoustic guitar and sings nonsensical lyrics. The tracks "Mindless Self Indulgence" and "Ecnegludni Fles Sseldnim" are messages from the band's answering machine. They both concern getting the band booked for a live show,but both times the caller (Octavio 9) couldn't remember the band's name.
