The versions of "Too Bad" and "Shut Up" on this release are different than the ones on "[m=123536]". The version of "UFO's Are Real" is likewise different from the versions on that song's accompanying single, and the version of "Truth Is Out Of Style" is different from that song's single. From the official Nettwerk "Hell With The Lid Off" press release: "This offering of frenzied rap, industrial rhythms and hip hop beats will send the masses to the temples of dance. The selection of hymns for this Chapter confront middle-class America driven by his fascination with the psychotic urban jungle where the streets are inhabited with the so called 'freaks' of society. 'This fellow called Jesus wants to feel insanity, get inside the head of somebody crazed' — (UK) Melody Maker, Aug/89. You will find reality, the kind of reality that mankind suppresses and hides in the halls of institutions. MC 900 Ft Jesus along with DJ Zero take the disciplines of funk, rap and industrial hip hop transforming them into an entirely new beast." The title “Hell With The Lid Off” is taken from the title given to a sermon delivered by an 8-year-old [[artist:1658958]] that was later released on [a compilation LP](https://www.discogs.com/release/5532957-Marjoe-Gortner-Marjoe-Gortner) of some of his early evangelical preaching.
