Track listing

All tracks written by Tyler Spencer, except "The Rubberband Man" by Thom Bell and Linda Creed.

N.B. Track 13 is not included on the retail CD, only on the iTunes "Zodiac (Bonus Edition)" download

Production

  • The album's title was inspired by the song "Typical Sagittarius", which the band wrote for the album, but chose not to include in the final cut. Other songs recorded but left off of the finished album include "I Can Translate" which was released as a B-Side on the limited "Jam It in the Hole" single and as a bonus track on European iTunes downloads of the album. The band also recorded a cover of "The Warrior" by Scandal which they plan to make available, eventually -possibly as a free internet download.
  • Although the album cover was presumed by some to be a photo of lead singer Dick Valentine, it is in fact a stock photo that was licensed for use as the album cover.

    • Trivia

  • As with the band's previous album KILL, 3 tracks on the album are exactly 4:20 in length. However, there is only one track with this length on the band's next album, Heartbeats and Brainwaves.
  • The title of the song "Doom and Gloom and Doom and Gloom" is a reference to lyrics featured in the track "I Don't Like You" from the band's 2007 album I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me from Being the Master. The sax solo also references Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.
