    • Musical themes

    In an interview with MetalSucks.net, Arpmandude elaborated on some of the lyrical themes present on the album saying that many of the songs are not "about being pissed off at women." "Medusa" describes the difficulty of getting over someone when you have to see them all the time. ".44" refers to Son of Sam while "Duct Tape Smile" describes the set of a snuff film. "The Burning Halo" touches on exorcism, "X and Y" describes a sex change and "Ms Shyflower" is about being buried alive.

    Trivia

  • Imogen's Puzzle Part 3 was composed in reverse to be played along with Imogen's Puzzle Part 1.
  • Since March 23rd, the song "Duct Tape Smile" became available on Tap Tap Revenge 3. It is available free from the Metal Blade TTR Channel. It is notable as being one of the hardest songs to be featured in the game, due to its use of irregularly placed speed-taps.
