• In court, we're asked to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But outside the courtroom, emotions can get in the way and the truth can fall victim. Here, King's X lead singer Dug Pinnick wants to know what's really going on.
  
  "It was a true relationship of someone in my life that I was interested in and they just would not settle up and tell me the truth," he told Songfacts. "So, I wrote a song – like I write a song about everything I go through. I think people relate to it, because a lot of people won't tell the truth in relationships."
• Musically, the band was going for a "Purple Rain" sound. "I thought about Prince and Curtis Mayfield, and it just turned out like a straight-up soul song, Memphis, Stax, Volt kind of tune," Pinnick said. "The only thing it didn't have was the Memphis horns."
• The vinyl release of the album is a 2-disc set with each record played at 45 RPM instead of 33, the standard for 12-inch records. This is to get better sound quality.
  
  "It's not your really loud, brick wall, scratchy sound that we're used to," Pinnick explained. "It sounds like an old record, where the bass is loud and the kickdrum, and the cymbals will sizzle. Everything is really present."
