In an interview for PerthMusic,[9] drummer Malcolm Clark explains the album's title:
"Well the Personality bit has to do with all the people that were involved in making this record and the different aspects that they brought along. The Spider/Bird bit has to do with some religious symbolism. It shows the two different sides – God/Devil, Good/Evil, and leaves it up to each person to make up their own mind. Some people might see the Spider as evil and the Bird as good, other people might see the complete opposite."
At the J Award of 2006, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[10]
