- Notes
- First pressings have a typo of the band's name, with "STARCRAWLER" stylized as "STARCRAWER".
- "Pet Sematary" is a cover version of the Ramones song featured in the motion picture soundtrack for the self-titled film Pet Sematary. The track is included in the album exclusively for Japan.
- The band's label, Rough Trade, also released a limited edition, deluxe version of the album that was pressed on blood-red marbled vinyl, and came in a scratch & sniff sleeve (the rose on the cover can be scratched and it smells like a rose).
