Notes

Consistent with many of the band's previous 'joke tracks', the first track "The Misinterpretation Of Silence And Its Disastrous Consequences (Wombs And Tombs mix)", much like the original is completely silent. The only "remix" that occurs here is simply that the track is shorter; 0:39 of silence instead of the original's 1:04. Given the title of the album, it is also an example of their self-deprecating humor style, with the logic that silence can actually be considered some of their best work.
