There are many references throughout the album to the 1990s cult film and comic book The Crow. For example, Brandon Lee, the lead actor who was shot and killed by accident while on the set, is also the name of the fourth track on the album. The song is a tribute to his memory.

The song "Velvet Touch" is a re-recording of a song from the band's second studio album Savage Garden.
