    On Charlie X, the line "I could make you all go away, any time I want to." is a reference to the Star Trek episode of the same name.

      "Fire Tonight" is the most nauseating song ever made; even if it were two minutes it would be too long. That, and the pointless instrumental interludes drag the album down terribly.

        This is a great CD, but it is way over 74 minutes (one of the first releases I am aware of that pushed the 74-minute barrier), and thus, it fails to play all the way to the end on most older models of CD players. I actually had to extract the tracks and re-burn the album to a CDR in order to get it to play!
