Trivia

  • Several of the album's tracks refer to the television show Arrested Development:
  • "Seaward" (name of GOB's boat)
  • "Forget-Me-Now" (name of GOB's date-rape drug)
  • "Baby Buster" (Buster's Nickname)
  • "Balboa Towers" (name of Lucille's Mansion Community)
  • The final 3 lines of "Skynet" are a reference to the message board on Lambgoat.com
  • An internet rumor circulated stating that lyrics on the first track, "Skynet", were written about the band Emmure and how they have allegedly ripped off The Acacia Strain, although vocalist Vincent Bennett has denied this on stage numerous times. Regardless, Emmure responded to plagiarism claims in their song "R2DEEPTHROAT".
