* AgeProgressionSong: "Ants Invasion" has the protagonist thinking about whether he should take a decision. The first verse has the time set at 10:35, the second at 10:36 and the third at 10:38, which is also when he realizes he made the wrong decision.

** "The Magnificent Five" is a shout-out to the western ''Film/TheMagnificentSeven.''

* CallBack and ContinuityNod: Much like their previous album, ''Music/DirkWearsWhiteSox'' the album continues ant and warrior imagery. In "Don't Be Square (Be There)" the line: "Dirk wears white socks" is a call back to the title of their debut.

* RecordProducer: Chris Hughes.
