Trivia:

  • Strangely, the album's subtitle Strange Timez isn't mentioned anywhere on the release (except on the tracklist, of course :-).

  • Damon pronounces "contraband" differently on the album version of "Désolé" (listen to the comparison: album version, episode version).

  • Leaks: The demo version of "The Valley Of The Pagans" surfaced online on 3rd August 2020. The full album was leaked on 20th October.

  • Total running times:

  •        Standard version: 43:03
           Deluxe version: 65:18
