** "Think": the album version samples a Brazilian radio ad for an Information Society concert. The music video reuses the same ''Star Trek'' sample as "Hack 1" instead.

** "Running" is sung by Murat Konar.[[note]]The ''Creatures of Influence'' version, at least; the 1986 remix, produced after his departure, has Kurt on the vocals.[[https://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/paul-robb-of-information-society]][[/note]]

* TheBandMinusTheFace: In 2007 Kurt Harland Larson temporarily left the band and new frontman Christopher Anton took his place.
* TheChick: Amanda Kramer in the 1980s. While other female musicians have toured and performed with the band at various times, Kramer is the only one to date who has been credited and promoted as a core member of the band.

* ShoutOut: Quite a few. Besides the aforementioned Franchise/StarTrek reference, there's also "White Roses," whose lyrics seem to be inspired by Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland. However—unlike most other songs about Lewis Carroll's books—Kurt Harland does not insert any very obvious references to Alice's dreamscape (this song is about depression, not [[Music/JeffersonAirplane hookah-smoking caterpillars]]). This makes looking for the connections even more fun. (The line "can't get from here to there" might be a reference to the scene in Literature/ThroughTheLookingGlassAndWhatAliceFoundThere in which the Red Queen explains to Alice how it's often impossible for Looking Glass World's inhabitants to move from one [[CrazyPeoplePlayChess chessboard square]] to another of their own accord.
