There is a hidden track, "House of Leaves," located at approximately 8:55, after the silence that follows "Meet Me in Montauk." It is named after House of Leaves, a book by Mark Z. Danielewski. "House of Leaves" also has backmasking: if played backwards you can hear the words 'speak so softly'.

Contrary to popular belief, the Japanese version does not include four bonus songs. It does, however, have a video for "Act Appalled".

Anthony Green has stated the title for the song "Stop the Fuckin' Car" was inspired by the popular cult film, the Boondock Saints.There is a scene in the movie in which vigilantes Connor and Murphy McManus and David Della Rocco are fleeing the McManus's apartment and Rocco sees the strip club that a mob underboss frequents and yells "Stop the fuckin' car!"

The song "Stop the Fuckin' Car" had its name censored to "Stop the Car" on the tracklisting on the back of the CD. However, it still states the title as "Stop the Fuckin' Car" on the booklet inside the case.
