Notes

• "Frozen Brains Tell No Tales" uses the same recording of Bootsy Collins singing "Buckethead's a psycho, he's a total psycho" that is used in "Want Some Slaw?"^{[citation needed]}, from Buckethead's second album, Giant Robot.
• "Digger's Den" begins with Bootsy Collins exclaiming the phrase "Hit me"^{[citation needed]}, which would later be sampled for "Bird With a Hole in the Stomach" on Buckethead's 2006 album, The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock.
• "Carpal Tunnel Tomb Torker" features Bootsy Collins shouting "I'm Cocoa for Cuckoo Puffs!"^{[citation needed]}, a reference to the Bucketheadland album in which he is similarly heard singing the jingle for Sugar Crisp cereal.
• Elements of the tracks "Slaughter Zone Entrance" and "Slaughter Zone Exit" would later be used^{[citation needed]} in "The Ravines of Falsehood" on Buckethead's 2004 album, The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell.
• After an initial guitar riff, "Slaughter Zone Exit" consists primarily of silence, only permeated by a number of scattered samples, including many of the spoken word pieces heard throughout the album^{[citation needed]}. A possible reason for this is that Buckethead wanted the longest track on the album to be exactly 8:16^{[citation needed]}, matching the length of the longest track on Bucketheadland (Computer Master). This would make the two longest tracks from his debut and its sequel the same length^{[citation needed]}.
