" is about growing up in a narrow-minded, secular community that is a little too set in its ways; and the unspoken fear of progress; and taking to things that are deemed a little alien or foreign.

Promo track listing

Shortly before its release, a promo of the album was created, that is now quite rare. The track listing is as follows:

1. "Me Me Me" - 3:30
2. "Easy Tiger" - 3:36
3. "Historia" - 2:56
4. "Raise Hell" - 3:51

The track listing did not include "Telenovela", which was added to the final cut later on in production. The printing on the CD has two mistakes on it also. The first mistakes is the times of the tracks, which displayed them differently to what they actually are. The second mistake is that "Historia" is shown as Track 4, and "Raise Hell" is shown as Track 3, whereas they are the other way around.

Cover art

The cover art for the album, as well as the album sleeve, was designed by vocalist Aled Phillips. The artwork also features the band's trademark flamingo design in places. The artwork also contains a recurring theme of tigers, much like the one shown on the front cover.
