** ''Unseen Power'' opens and closes with a variation of a wind sound effect with wind chimes. The opening features people quietly chanting in unison while the closing has a man saying, "You can't really see it, but you know it's there, like some sort of unseen power."

* AsTheGoodBookSays: Nearly every song contains some paraphrase of a Bible passage. And in case anyone doesn't get the reference, the reference was always printed above the lyrics in the liner notes. In one instance, lack of familiarity with [[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+6:6&version=KJV Romans 6:6 in the King James Version specifically]] made it impossible to understand that the song is [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant not about a man killing his father]]. Never ones to shy away from controversy, these guys.
