Volume 1 last two tracks[edit]

I believe the confusion over the track listing arises from the final 2 tracks being unlisted on the album sleeve itself... Basically, an original mix was done, which the band was not pleased with, so they set about re-doing it themselves. This was taking some time, and the record company (Victory, sometimes known as 'pure evil') were pushing for album art to be finished and done. So, the art got finished before all the songs were done. The cover, you'll notice, features references to the first eleven songs. These are the ones that were definitely ready for release; "Country House" and "Sunny Jim" were finished after. For consistency's sake, they've been left off the printed list. They're kind of like bonus tracks, I guess. As a compromise, Tomas wanted the album released on the Ides of March (March 15), as a reference to the band. Unfortunately, Victory wanted it out on a Tuesday (when albums are generally released), which is why it's being released on the 16th, the day after the Ides.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.37.90.242 (talk • contribs)

Alright, then why do allmusic and billboard (which get their information directly from physical releases) list two entirely different songs for tracks 12 and 13? Fezmar9 (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just got the album today. There are only 11 tracks.--72.196.158.95 (talk) 23:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a physical copy or pirated digital copy? And if it is a physical copy, is it an early promotional version or the actual retail version? Fezmar9 (talk) 00:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I got a digital version, but its because the people who preordered it got it early. A friend of mine preordered it and got it today. A physical copy.--72.196.158.95 (talk) 02:03, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also have a hard copy and it doesn't have these other tracks. I did a few google searches and I think that the extra two are from a promotional disc that Victory is sending out with the SM CD. Both songs are originals performed by the same group, here's a page where you can see the songs: http://www.myspace.com/chaselongbeach they match with what allmusic and Billboard.com have listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.220.26 (talk) 19:06, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me. Victory Records frequently dish out samplers with albums or at live shows, and Allmusic will occasionally tack on samplers to track listings. As seen on Aiden's Nightmare Anatomy and Anti-Flag's Mobilize. Case closed then. Fezmar9 (talk) 19:42, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
