Notes
[edit]- "Frozen Brains Tell No Tales" uses the same recording of Bootsy Collins singing "Buckethead's a psycho, he's a total psycho" that is used in "Want Some Slaw?"[citation needed], from Buckethead's second album, Giant Robot.
- "Digger's Den" begins with Bootsy Collins exclaiming the phrase "Hit me"[citation needed], which would later be sampled for "Bird With a Hole in the Stomach" on Buckethead's 2006 album, The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock.
- "Carpal Tunnel Tomb Torker" features Bootsy Collins shouting "I'm Cocoa for Cuckoo Puffs!"[citation needed], a reference to the Bucketheadland album in which he is similarly heard singing the jingle for Sugar Crisp cereal.
- Elements of the tracks "Slaughter Zone Entrance" and "Slaughter Zone Exit" would later be used[citation needed] in "The Ravines of Falsehood" on Buckethead's 2004 album, The Cuckoo Clocks of Hell.
- After an initial guitar riff, "Slaughter Zone Exit" consists primarily of silence, only permeated by a number of scattered samples, including many of the spoken word pieces heard throughout the album[citation needed]. A possible reason for this is that Buckethead wanted the longest track on the album to be exactly 8:16[citation needed], matching the length of the longest track on Bucketheadland (Computer Master). This would make the two longest tracks from his debut and its sequel the same length[citation needed].
