Additional notes

 * "Kid Nothing vs. the Echo Factor" is a commentary on mainstream rap music from Travis' point of view as a rapper himself.
 * The lyrics in the outro of "Kid Nothing vs. the Echo Factor" are derived from the first line of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb".
 * "Cupid's Chokehold" samples extensively from Supertramp's song "Breakfast in America".
 * "Taxi Driver" is an homage to other contemporary bands in the indie rock and punk genres.
 * The Papercut Chronicles version of the "Cupid's Chokehold" music video was directed by Andrew Paul Bowser who would later co-direct the "New Friend Request" video with Joseph M. Petrick for their album As Cruel as School Children.
 * "Make Out Club" includes a reference to the song "Girl or Dog?" by Travis's old side project Bernie Allen.
