"Boys Club", "Israel" and "Transitions" have appeared in demo form on various other tapes. "Big Fat Fuck", "How High Can You Fly", and "Monique the Freak" were on the band's self-released Internet album Craters of the Sac. All of those songs were changed for this release. "How High Can You Fly" went from a running time of 1:47 on Craters to a running time of 2:41 on this album. "Big Fat Fuck" went from a running time of 7:09 on Craters to a running time of 2:57 on this album. Last, "Monique the Freak" went from the running time of 10:17 on Craters, to 5:49 on Shinola. Not many lyrics are different between the two releases, just longer instrumental parts.
