** "Catching Fire." Deryck apparently started writing it about how much he missed his wife while she was away, but it gradually evolved into a song about the number of public figures (especially his fellow musicians like Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell) who had committed suicide. In the end, her turned in an extremely emotional song about wanting to tell the people who you love how you feel about them before it's too late.

** While Tom "Brown Tom" Thacker (from Music/{{Gob}}) was by no means ''dis''liked, most agreed that he couldn't hope to fill Dave Baksh's shoes, as Dave was the one responsible for all of the intricate guitar solos and riffs while Thacker's playing was too similar to Deryck's. It didn't help that a caucasian guitarist replacing the Indian-Canadian Baksh made the whole thing seem like an unintentional RaceLift. He'd eventually be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap once Dave returned.
