Overview

Perspective
The album saw the band move into darker territory, in terms of both sound and lyrical content. It also furthered various experiments from The Vertigo of Bliss, such as using 5/4 time ("There is no Such Thing as a Jaggy Snake"), multiple time changes, key changes, instrumental variation, unpredictable riffs and complex song structures.[8]
The album contains a hidden track, "Tradition Feed". After the final track, "Pause And Turn It Up", approximately 18 minutes of silence precedes a short poem, read by Simon Neil. "Tradition Feed" can also be found as a B-side to the vinyl 7" single "Only One Word Comes To Mind". As with each of the band's first three albums, it has been played in full three times, on 15 December 2005 at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow, then on 22 October 2024 in London and most recently on 26 October in the same year as part of a tour named "Celebration of Beginnings". "Only One Word Comes to Mind" reached #27 on the UK Singles Chart.[9]
"Glitter And Trauma", "My Recovery Injection", and "Only One Word Comes To Mind" were released as singles in edited forms. "There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake" was released as digital download. "Got Wrong" was considered for the final single but lost out to "Only One Word Comes To Mind".
The cover art was created by Chris Fleming, who also created the cover art for all the singles from Infinity Land.
Simon Neil has stated in various interviews that the title Infinity Land is a reference to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
It was in a Jeffrey Dahmer book, he talks about his ideal place, which is called Infinity Land - his idea of heaven - which is really grim, being surrounded by corpses and shit. You don't know what it's about, it could sound hopeful, but when you know what it's referring to, it becomes quite sinister. In a way, it's kinda cool that people don't know what we're referring to, that people make up their own meanings for things... it could be quite optimistic, but it's not.[10]
