  Album notes

• A music video was made for the track "Hyena".
• "Union Blood", the album's fifteenth track, is a hidden track and not mentioned on the back cover.
• "Get Out of My Way", the album's final song, is a cover, originally performed by The Uptones.
• The album insert thanks Lars Frederiksen, who joined the band prior to Rancid's release. As such, out of respect to what they had done before him and so not as to take any credit for it, he does not appear in the liner notes for the album.
• The album thanks Billie Joe Armstrong and his band Green Day. Billie Joe Armstrong would later co-write the song "Radio", which is featured on Rancid's second studio album Let's Go.

• The album also thanks The Offspring and NOFX, who were both labelmates with Rancid and would tour and achieve success together.
