About:
- After seeing no success as Devon Hendryx, he wanted to distance himself from the name. While he would eventually upload a version of this album to the Devon Hendryx Bandcamp page, it would not be available to download until the expanded version released. Multiple stage names were considered to replace his old one, and as a way of sort of "testing the waters" he would upload GHOST~POP and attribute it to the name, thus why we have a page under the artist name of "Ghost~Pop". This is where Ben Yuddha comes in.
- Ben Yuddha was yet another alias of his, with the only surviving things attributed to it being his current Reddit account and Internet Archive captures of this old Bandcamp account and a separate website. Nobody knew it existed until late 2023 when it would be found by member of the community Aviant, who simply stumbled upon it while searching things on Internet Archive.
- The name on the page would eventually be changed to Darkskin Manson, and then finally to JPEGMAFIA, which it continues as today. The only evidence of this page's existence prior to this were scrobbles on Last.fm from 2015 attributing the tracks to Darkskin Manson.
- The page seems to host a unique version of the album, with all tracks released individually as singles, each with their own covers. Includes multiple unheard songs, including "God", which is likely unrelated to the YouTube single of the same name.
- After the name was changed to Darkskin Manson, many of these covers were changed. The above picture is comprised of all of the unchanged art, and the Darkskin Manson set of covers can be downloaded below. The unchanged covers are for the songs "GOD", "HBK", "Violent fighting to come again!", "Neon Kitchen", "LIARA", "ODB (Live @ Central Station)", and "Pizzicato Five". The original covers for all other songs prior to the change are completely lost.
- Track durations are significantly longer than any other version of the album, with members of the community theorizing that this copy might be slowed down.
- As evidenced by the lyrics, "Porn for Percussion [Betamax Version]" is not the song found on the Expanded Edition, but rather is a retitled "[Missingimagefile_ maladaptivedaydreaming.gif]".
- Similarly to Version 3, "Neon Kitchen⁴" is simply titled "Neon Kitchen".
- "Ballad of a Poor Man", "Violent fighting to come again!", and the unheard song "AJ Lee" are also available on the page but not listed on the tracklist.
