All songs are instrumental except songs 1 and 4. Both have the same robo-lyrics. The lyrics are:
The way the cats are good,
we like cats
cats are nifty.
Wonder cats are good,
cats to pet all day.
The wonder of cats cannot be paralleled.
The disco cats have returned.
We will dance to the wonder of the cats!

ABOUT THE ALBUM COVER
“Gross Pathology of Normal Brain vs Brain of Patient Treated With Methylene Blue Before Death”, medical photo by Mikael Häggström, M.D. Image is public domain. Is half of this image on Wikipedia (whole image has whole brain, not just slices).
This photo is the album cover because it speaks to me. I saw it and was fascinated by it.
I didn’t use it for the gross-out factor, I don’t find it gross. I don’t like it when bands use gross or shocking imagery. I love the Butthole Surfers but didn’t like when I saw them live and they were showing graphic images of eyeball surgery on a big screen behind them. That seemed like shock for its own sake.
This blue brain and sliced blue brain medical photo isn’t shocking to me. It just speaks to me of what is the mind vs what is the brain, and what are we? Are we this little 3-pound universe that doesn’t look much different than our intestines, but is a powerful supercomputer made from the result of digesting food.
Is that us?
