Notes

* The atmospheric song played in the main menu is a Queens of the Stone Age track, "Spiders and Vinegaroons" from the split EP ''Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age'' (1997). * The song "The Fun Machine Took a Shit & Died" was initially slated to be included on ''Lullabies to Paralyze'' but was misplaced. During that time, the band assumed that the tapes of that song were either lost or stolen. :"The tapes got lost. Actually, they were just at another studio, but we falsely accused everyone in the world of theft." (Josh Homme, 09/2005, RollingStone.com, article linked below) * During every weekend in the month of November 2005,
