A character in the 2011 film Inception about Mental Worlds is named after Fischer.
- The album's copyright statement includes the line "Respect nature. Protect animals. Promote human rights. Support music. Live in peace. Play!"
- This is the only Poets of the Fall album to not have either an associated eponymous track or the album name stated in lyrics. (Signs of Life has an eponymous track on Temple of Thought)
