Trivia
"What I Really Learned in Study Hall" is the first song in the "What I Learned in Study Hall" trilogy of songs.
The title of the song "Murders and Acquisitions" is a reference to the 2000 film American Psycho. The title of the song "I Do and I Don't" is a quote from the movie Best in Show.
In the first edition released in April, the final track, "Family Unties" ends at 5:07. In the re-issue released in December, it is followed by two hidden tracks. The first one from 6:32 to 9:00 is an instrumental synth reprise of "Family Unties", and the second one from 9:54 to 12:58 is a phone call followed by another synth track.
On April 11, 2025, the band released a remastered and remixed edition of the album, including a new track named "Tossing Kelleher", which was recorded during the 2005-2006 sessions of the album.
