(From the band's site)

• The title track can be described as the band's most openly grunge track, evoking elements of both Nirvana and tour mates Mclusky. This is the oldest song on the second album. The song was originally called 'Truck' and when originally played by the band live, drummer Guy Davis sang the backing vocals for the chorus, which were initially "Take it by myself, ain't nobody else...", but Jon took over when Guy decided it was too much hassle. It was also the first song to be recorded for the album, primarily because the band cited it as "easy to play".
• Karen is a song by Farnborough band Vex Red, it was unintentionally misspelled, as the original is spelled 'Karin'. It was recorded with Ryan Maunder at Raezor studios. Reuben shared the stage with Vex Red many times during their early says under the name Angel.
• Approaching By Stealth is an old song that had been demoed for possible inclusion on both of the band's albums.
• Victim is another old song that featured on the band's final demo under the name Angel, 'Betrayed'.
• In the first office scene in the video, Guy's floor tom isn't there. When the video returns to the office, it magically appears.
• The chip shop featured in the promotional video also appears in the video for Freddy Kreuger.
• The video features many of the band's friends and family, including director Daniel Fernbach's sister, mum and dad, (who played the dad in the Freddy Kreuger video), the band's roadie Chris (who doubled as one of the band in the Let's Stop Hanging Out video), a selection of waitresses and customers from the chip shop, and Ryan Maunder.
• Four ice cream tubs full of spaghetti were cooked for the meals of the 'customers' in the restaurant scene in the video, but only one box full was used.
