Notes
- "Everyone Like Me" was recorded by the band in early 2004.
- [Untitled] on the original version and "Intro" on the 2004 version are the same song.
- "Rhime Animal", "Small Town", "Set It Off" and "Lift It" were remade for the 2004 version.
- Both "Supafly" and "Unbelievable" made it to the Top 5 on ChristianRock.Net. "Puppet" was a No. 1 at the same site.
- There is one music video for this album, for the song "Puppet". It features the band playing in an alley and also shows the shadows of two puppets against an orange sky, with one puppet chasing the other. Eventually the fleeing puppet escapes.
