===Notes=== *"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|date=July 2020}}, from Buckethead's second album, ''Giant Robot''. *"Digger's Den" begins with Bootsy Collins exclaiming the phrase "Hit me"{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}, 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|date=July 2020}}, 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|date=July 2020}} 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|date=July 2020}}. A possible reason for this is that Buckethead wanted the longest track on the album to be exactly 8:16{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}, 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|date=July 2020}}.
