Notes/Trivia

Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. (May 2008)

• Track 3, "W.T.Y.D." stands for Welcome to Your Death.
• The album was re-released twice: 1998 with 3 demo tracks as bonus tracks and again on September 9, 2003 in a two-disc compilation set along with Never, Neverland, entitled "Two From The Vault".
• The title of the album appears to be a parody of Alice in Wonderland, but not the famous grunge band Alice in Chains because they did not release their first album until a year after this album.
• The song "Alison Hell" is based on the true story of a little girl who had the fear of seeing the bogeyman at night. Her parents ignored her pleas for comfort and she gradually went insane.
