- "Paranoid" is a Black Sabbath cover that was originally released on the Paranoid album. At the end of the song, then drummer Nick Menza carries on drumming to which Dave shouts Nick! three times. A few seconds later Nick says "Fuck me running". On the CD it is turned down very quiet, but in the studio Nick exclaimed it very loudly.

- On the extended versions, "New World Order" is listed as a demo, the final version of the song being included on Duke Nukem: Music To Score By. The same demo version is available on the reissue of Youthanasia, in which Dave Mustaine states in the liner notes that only some guitar parts were missing from the final version, which are included in this release of the song.
- This is the first of only three Megadeth albums where Vic Rattlehead does not appear in a physical form, the other two being Cryptic Writings and Risk; his only appearance is as a head on a Calico Jack flag on the back cover.
