Notes:
6-panel foldout insert with pics of the band, lyrics and credits and this text below :
Kind of hidden track between "Brick" and "Song For The Dumped", and another one a moment after "Evaporated" .
"This recording was made with the utmost care and professionalism. Microphones were chosen and placed in the general vicinity of each instrument in order to capture the sonic characteristics of the music performed. Each instrument was tuned before and often during the recording sessions and arrangements were rehearsed or at least discussed.
The lyrics or text were created to detract from the repetition inherent in modern instrumental pop music. Iambic pentameter was not always an option, however where possible, the last syllable of a line was manipulated in order to rhyme with the last syllable of the preceding line. Where this technique has served to distort the meaning of the original text, the fuzz tone of the electric bass guitar or a virtuosic drum fill has been inserted to detract the listener temporarily from the actual song.
Finally the best takes were chosen and the others were culled and thrown away or erased, otherwise this record could have easily been hundreds of hours long; much longer than the generally accepted running time of a modern commercial recording. Every measure was taken to keep this record mistake-free. The mixing engineer, Andy Wallace, who has mixed many top notch famous recording stars, often took the initiative and muted or "ducked" missed notes, and unsavory textures.
The band and producer are confident that your money was well spent on an album relatively free of major sonic and musical problems."
