Song information

 * "Stupid?" is a sarcastic take on what the band should be doing at this point in their career, and the music scene they are involved with.
 * "Sleeping Bag" is about the band's touring van which is still barely functioning.
 * The lyrics to "Brainmelter" were written by bassist Chad Fjerstad and are heavily influenced by Ken Russell's 1980 film Altered States.
 * "Cropgrower" was influenced by Jonathan Hunt's time working in the corn fields in Iowa.
 * "Doombox" is about the female sex organ and the women who use, abuse, and manipulate men with its powers.
