* BlackSheepHit: "Float On"; if not in sound, it's certainly far happier than their other songs. Quoth Brock:
--> It was a completely conscious thing. I was just kind of fed up with how bad shit had been going, and how dark everything was, with bad news coming from everywhere. Our president is just a fucking daily dose of bad news! Then you've got the well-intentioned scientists telling us that everything is fucked. I just want to feel good for a day.

* NoExportForYou: ''Night On the Sun'' was originally released only in Japan. It was later sent via vinyl to the U.S. when the band signed with Epic Labels.

** They also had a minor follow-up hit with "Dashboard" from ''We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank'', which engages with similar themes.
