** "The Time Machine" ends with a rather interesting variation. The titular time traveler takes his companion on a journey through space and time only to realize he's inadvertently shown the companion that humanity always has been horrible to each other and will always continue to fight and murder each other over petty, useless things for as long as time goes on.

** The mellow "Strange World" on the debut album is an OutOfCharacterMoment for Paul Di'Anno. In a 2019 interview with original singer Paul Day, he all but admits that it was his composition (or at least partly) but he was not credited due to being out of the band when the song was copyrighted. Other songs written by ex-members include "Sanctuary", "Charlotte The Harlot" and "The Ides Of March".
