Track listing

All tracks written by Dugmore/Harper/Hogarth/Woore.

  1. "A.E.I.O.U."
  2. "Recognition"
  3. "Innocence"
  4. "Spirit of Youth"
  5. "American People"
  6. "Kingdom Come"

The song "Kingdom Come" strives to be chilling, eerie and prophetic. The beat is much slower than that of a typical rock song, and even slower than a typical reggae beat. The lyrics, dealing with a more serious issue than their other songs (the inequality and injustice of capitalism) include these phrases: "They realize something terrifying / They know why we've been going so wrong."
