- Tracks 5-8, "Lurker at the Threshold", is a tribute to H. P. Lovecraft's book of the same name. It is 9:38 when combined.
- Parts of the song "Gigan" appears on the song "At Any Cost" from the album Living on Another Frequency by Science Faxtion. Also, the drum track of the song was used on 2009's Forensic Follies.
- Track 13, "Fizzy Lipton Drinks", is a reference to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory's "Fizzy-Lifting Drinks". "FLD" ends at 3:14 followed by silence until 6:16 at which point an unnamed hidden track begins and leads to the end of the album.
- The entire album is instrumental (per usual Buckethead), however a small interesting fact is that at approx. 3:45 of "Bird With a Hole in the Stomach", Bootsy Collins can be heard in the background yelling "Hit Me!", followed by a funky bass breakdown. These are the only "lyrics" on the album. This same clip of Bootsy Collin's voice can be found on the song "Digger's Den" on the Bucketheadland 2 album.
