* The track "Endtime" is one of very few Katatonia recordings to utilize samples, featuring a clip of dialogue from the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining during the latter half of the song's lengthy intro:
Stuart Ullman: "Because, for some people solitude and isolation can, of itself, become a problem."
Jack Torrance: "Not for me."
* The song '12' is a re-recorded version of the song 'Black Erotica' from the W.A.R. Compilation Volume 1 (1995) The song can also be found on the 2004 Compilation 'Brave Yesterdays'
* The original version of the record went to pressing unmastered. In 2006, Peaceville Records released a mastered version of the album and included the Sounds of Decay EP as bonus tracks. The remastered edition also includes new liner notes by Anders Nyström.
