Trivia / Everything Everything

• Distanced from Current Events: "Big Climb" was set up to the the big first single for RE-ANIMATOR. Several members of the band felt that the COVID-19 Pandemic might lend some Unfortunate Implications to a rousing chorus of "Not afraid that it'll kill us, yeah, we are afraid that it won't" and it was decided that the gentler, quieter "In Birdsong" would be more appropriate.
• Dyeing for Your Art: The band began sporting matching platinum-blond locks prior to the release of first Mountainhead single "Cold Reactor", which is about a society of people who "built a mountain by digging an almighty hole" which blocked out the sun.
• Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: Arc and Get to Heaven were simultaneously released alongside Deluxe Editions, which contained extra tracks, alternative versions, and remixes^note A Fever Dream and RE-ANIMATOR also had extra tracks, but those were released as EPs instead.
• Reality Subtext: In early 2020 (at the start of the coronavirus lockdowns), a fire broke out in the band's studio, resulting in several of their instruments being severely damaged or destroyed. When it was time to shoot a video for "Violent Sun", the band decided to used the charred instruments to mime along to.
• Shrug of God: Is Jon singing "on the fence" or "on your face" on "Suffragette Suffragette"? He's not telling, as it was left out in the lyric booklet for Man Alive. To add insult to injury, the Caps Lock On lyric book has both words printed over each other.
