The track "Medicine", which appears on the US release, is a re-recording of a track which originally appeared on the band's 1991 album Spine of God. A music video was made for the 1991 version.

Two different music videos were produced for the song "Heads Explode" and one for "Melt", consisting mostly of live footage over the studio version of the track. The former song was featured in the film Dracula 2000 and included on its soundtrack.
