Apart from its title, the album contains several more references to William Shakespeare's Hamlet: album features a track entitled "Nešto je trulo u državi Danskoj" ("Something's Rotten in the State of Denmark", the song itself referring to Serbia), and the album cover features the band's frontman Bora Đorđević holding a skull.
Ostalo je ćutanje is the first album recorded with the band's first official keyboardistVladimir Barjaktarević. It is also the last album recorded with guitarist Zoran Ilić. "Odlazi od mene, ubico, idi" features former female members of Đorđević's former band Suncokret, Snežana Jandrlić, Biljana Krstić and Gorica Popović, on vocals. The song is notable for being the only Riblja Čorba song which does not feature Bora Đorđević on lead vocals. "Gastarbajterska pesma" features a passage from "Užičko kolo" played on accordion by Legende member Dušan Suvajac. The track "Ljubomorko" is a cover of John Lennon's song "Jealous Guy".
