Trivia
edit- The man on the cover of "Space In Your Face" is David Kitchens, former ranch hand for singer Ben Huggins’ brother-in-law, as he was the only person they could find who fit in the suit.[6]
- During the song "Where Are You Now?", you can hear a scripted phone conversation between bassist Monty Colvin, his wife (at the time) and singer Ben Huggins' wife.[6]
- There are two hidden tracks on this album; "Ranch on Mars" and "Still Life of Peace". These two tracks were hidden so the band could include two more tracks than Geffen wanted.[6]
- Ben Huggins regards Space In Your Face, along with At the End of the Day, as the band's high point.[7]
- Dream Theater cited the album as an influence on their sixth album Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (2002).[8]
- The album has sold 31,061 copies as of January 2000, according to Nielsen Soundscan.[9]
