Trivia
- On the back of the album cover where the list of tracks of the album is, it does not list track 13, listing 12 then 14. The reason for this is most likely because of superstition that some elevators do not have a button for the 13th story of the building. However, there is a track 13 on the album, sometimes titled "Four Seconds of Noise," which is merely the final four seconds of the ending guitar riff from "Soldier in a Box."
- In addition, both on the back cover of the album and inside its liner notes, the songs are listed in reverse order. Thus, the track numbers appear as they would in an elevator, with 1 at the bottom and 15 at the top.
- This album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005.
