The first 1000 pressings (as well as the Japanese release) of the album included a bonus track known as "The Spectrum", which starts at the 6 minute mark of the last track "Where's Gerrold". Some packages of this album included an enhanced CD that contained a demo version of the song "Stitches," a remix, and a video for the single "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)". The aforementioned single received significant radio play upon release, reaching number 6 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. A second single, "Opticon", had more moderate success, and was featured on the soundtrack to the 2001 horror film Valentine . According to vocalist Jay Gordon, the song contains a drum sample from "The Stroke" by Billy Squier. "Suckerface" and "Eva" were also released as promotional singles.
Vapor Transmission largely continues the style heard on Candyass . However, while the electronic effects remain prominent, heavily distorted guitars are slightly de-emphasized with a strong focus on melody.
