Miscellanea[edit]

This section contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (July 2020)

• This album came ten years after the first album by the band, The Tussler - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
• The use of two drum kits on this record was inspired by bands like The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band.
• "Cassie" is a song dedicated to the deceased backup singer for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cassie Gaines (said by Bent Sæther during a concert in Berlin, October 13, 2004).
• "Satan's favourite Son" was the only track not to be recorded during the winter/spring 2004-session in Stuggudalen, since it was committed to tape two years earlier. This is also the reason why Bent Sæther plays the second drum set on this song, as Even Grånas joined the band in 2003.
• The artwork was done by Jonny Snorkel and Ronja Svenning Berge. The sleeve features drawings in wild west-style of the band members.
• Lars Lien's dog, Laila Lou, is credited for "Good vibes and vocals", as her barking is audible at the end of the song named after her.
