Trivia

[edit]
  • The photography used as the front cover of Thud was taken by famous German surrealist photographer Herbert List.
  • Two of the songs on Thud, namely "All Fall Down" and "Shrug (Because of Me and You)", were originally recorded by Giraffe and have been reworked by Kevin for this release.
  • The original title of "Shadow Self" is "Late for Dinner," which still appears on the Thud promo release. Gilbert said the track was renamed by mistake in a printing error.
