Notes :
This was the very first album released by Metal Molly from which singles 'Orange' and 'Silver' were drawn. 'Superskunk' version is different from earlier single release.

This album was also released on the Silvertone/Zomba label for a worldwide release except for the BeNeLux and Japan (where it was released on ?-label). A video was shot in NYC for 'Orange'. Everybody thought it was quite a poppy song for a metal band. Or vice versa.

Front cover photo was taken by Lukas Huller with a self-designed 360 degrees camera. The camera was installed in the middle of our rehearsal room (actually my parents basement in Tremelo) and slowly rotated around its axe. We stood very still in front of it and when we were out of sight of the lens, Lukas yelled 'yes' and someone quickly ran behind the camera and took a new pose. The cover is only a small sample of the actual foto, which might have been ten times larger.
