* "Mr. Self Destruct" begins with a sample from the 1971 film ''THX 1138.'' It is taken from a scene in which a man is being beaten by a guard depicted on a holographic television. [http://www.discogs.com/release/4404]
* "Closer" uses a heavily modified sample of a kick drum from the song "[[Nightclubbing]]" from ''The Idiot'' album by Iggy Pop. [http://www.9inchnails.com/articles/articles.php?id=6] It also uses a reversed sample of a guitar figure from "Take A Chance With Me" by Roxy Music, and a synth bass sound from the ''A Poke in the Ear With a Sharp Stick, Vol. 2'' sample library.
* "A Warm Place" is based on the melody from David Bowie's 1980 single "Crystal Japan." Some hear it as a complete rip-off, while others argue that from a music theory point of view that the structure has significant differences.
*The looping female voice that appears on "Reptile" (approx. 5:06) is from the 1974 film ''The Texas Chain Saw Massacre''. The strange mechanical sound before the drums start can be found in the movie ''Leviathan'' , and the other looped mechanical sounds during all the song are found in ''Aliens'' (the escape in opening scene immediately after the chamber is cut open and the vesselfirst power loader scene.). Also, while not a direct sample, the ascending synth melody from 5:13 to 5:20 seems to may be a reference to "Laura Palmer's Theme" from the television show ''Twin Peaks''.
* "The Becoming" uses screams from the film ''Robot Jox'' and a reversed sample of the phrase "I know who I am" from the film ''Angel Heart''.
* "Ruiner" samples "Beat Box" by Art of Noise, and the breakdown samples elephant noises from David Lynch's ''The Elephant Man'' and a buried scream from the film ''Parents''.
