Notes

There is confusion as to the intended spelling of the 8th track on the album, "21st Centrury Man". On digital releases such as on Apple Music and Spotify it is spelt "Centrury", but on the Bandcamp release and physical CD release it is spelt "Century".

The track "All Of My Loving" received a music video, which features naked people as furniture. The music video was directed by longtime friends and collaborators Dave Hill and Rory Scovel, and was produced by Margaux Ravis.[3]

The track "Naked City" was present on the 2011 videogame Test Drive Unlimited 2.

All of the bonus tracks on the Japanese re-release are present on their next album, Semester at Sea.
