Additional notes

  • The album was released using three different album covers. The original was deemed too graphic by major retails and refused to sell the album unless the artwork was changed. The alternative cover was chosen to be sold in major retailers. It is possible to purchase the album with the original artwork. The third is an actual naked girl instead of the cartoon drawing and is only available on the vinyl version which was limited to 1000 copies on grey vinyl.
  • The last track, "Death Sex", is, for the majority of the song at least, a noise track. Guitar distortion is played for minutes on end, amounting to around 5 minutes before another section consisting of fast hardcore punk including drums comes in, then will go back to the distortion for another 5 minutes or so.
  • The song "Drain the Blood" is featured in Gran Turismo 4 and is a downloadable song for Rock Band.
  • Coral Fang peaked at position 97 on the Billboard 200 on November 1, 2003.
  • The song "Beat Your Heart Out" was a part of the Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Spider-Man 2 videogame soundtrack.
  • The song "Dismantle Me" was a part of the MTX Mototrax soundtrack.
  • The song "Hall of Mirrors" was the first track on Kerrang! Best of 2003.
