Notes

• The CD case lists track 2 as "Porphyria," whilst the sleeve names it "Porphyria Cutanea Tarda." The song's title references the skin disease that results in an acute sensitivity to sunlight.
• "Lower It" is a special track, available only on the 12" vinyl version of the album. It occupied track 7.
• Track titles 9 and 10 (tracks 10 and 11 on the list above) were switched on the CD face and on the back of the packaging. The correct order is listed here.
• "God Called In Sick Today" features regularly in AFI's setlist. It is generally used to conclude the show, although since the release of Decemberunderground it is usually followed by "Miss Murder." (See I Heard a Voice)
• "Midnight Sun" is a hidden song, found on the same track as "God Called In Sick Today," 10 minutes and 28 seconds in on the CD version. It was influenced by poet Charles Baudelaire, who wrote the poem "De Profundis Clamavi." Havok can be heard whispering the poem during part of the song.
• "Strength Through Wounding" contains the chant "Through our bleeding, we are one." Fans have been known to chant this before the band comes on stage or during pauses between songs.

The hidden message.

• In the Japanese version of the album, the song "Who Knew?" is present as a hidden track instead of "Midnight Sun."^[1]
• The song "Malleus Maleficarum" references the famous treatise on the prosecution of witches. In an interview for the I Heard a Voice DVD, guitarist Jade Puget states that "Malleus Maleficarum" was the first song he wrote as a part of AFI.
• The inner-edge of the CD case reveals a hidden message: "Beyond and To All Time I Stand". This is a lyric from the hidden track, "Midnight Sun". Such hidden messages are present on many of AFI's releases on Nitro Records. The prhase is also from the Inferno part of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, It is uttered by an unnamed demon.
• Dexter Holland, singer from The Offspring and owner of AFI's label (at the time), Nitro Records, made a guest vocal appearance on this album in the songs "Clove Smoke Catharsis" and "The Last Kiss".
