• The cover artwork is presumably a not-so-subtle reference to John Christopher's The White Mountains and H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.
• The songs "You All Everybody" and "Station 5: The Pearl" are references to the television series Lost. "You All Everybody" is the name of Charlie Pace's band, Drive Shaft's, hit song in the TV series "Lost." (The song is used as a reference point to the band's success and ultimate doom.) "Station 5: The Pearl" also references the novel "The Pearl," by John Steinbeck.
• The song "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" is a reference to a short story by Philip K. Dick of the same name.
• The song "Me and Ed Loyce" is a reference to another short story by Dick, "The Hanging Stranger".
• The song "Shadow of the Colossus" is a reference to the Japanese-developed video game of the same name for the PlayStation 2.
• The song "Margaritas and Cock" is a reference to the 2005 film The Matador, starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear.
• The song "The White Mountains" contains numerous direct references to John Christopher's The White Mountains
• The song "My Name Is Ozymandias" is a reference to the famous sonnet by Percy Bysshe Shelley, published in 1818. It is frequently anthologised and is probably Shelley's most famous short poem. Ozymandias is also the name of a character in John Christopher's The White Mountains. Ozymandias is also a character in Alan Moore's Watchmen graphic novel.
