"Surveillance State of Mind" contains an excerpt of "Bass Canon in D" by BristleBoi77

"Surveillance State of Mind" contains an excerpt of "Jeth Docks" by Jeth Docks

Future perfect bass on "Ma'ili, HI" by Hospicilin Classics

Sound design on "Ma'ili, HI" by Jax D Incisor

Mind erasure on "Ma'ili, HI" provided by Brainville, LLC

Vocal chops on "I Can See It" by a numbers station I stumbled upon once in my youth

Additional percussion on "Only Girl in the World" by Juliander Tortegeli and Her Magic Bean Band

"Only Girl in the World" contains an excerpt of "Battle! Wild [REDACTED] - [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Version" by Timothy Turner, Sr.

Speech dictation on "Anywhere You Want to Be (I'll Be There)" by Boston's very own IBM-2095 ICBM

Computer glitch effects and other sounds on "Anywhere You Want to Be (I'll Be There)" by the magnet I accidentally let touch my hard drive

Ideology on "Anywhere You Want to Be (I'll Be There)" conveniently provided by the trash can

Some songwriting on "Free" by Myu Zack

Radio personality on "Free" by Theropawed (this one actually happened)

Some songwriting and cameo on "Free" by r u s s e l b u c k - a real person, despite prior rumors - who gave me permission to do this silly bit for 0 dollars and 0 cents, so I humbly thank them. This song samples their track "Cellphone Tune" from their eponymous debut album in its entirety.

Western classical theory - and by extension a lot of "modern" (to y'all, I assume) pop music theory - is all a semi-racist lie anyways. There are many ways to explain why a song "works" and why rhythms and harmonies behave the way they do in context to the music. Take my analysis with a grain of salt.

Traditional MIDI ensemble on "Free" arranged by Endocrine Johansson

Some songwriting on "Free" by OpenAI Jukebox, which is true but I'm philosophically unsure if this needs to be credited
