"The Opposite Of December... A Season of Separation" features "Nerdy," "Slice Paper Wrists", and "Artist's Rendering of Me," all fan favorites. One or two of these songs find their way into each of the band's live sets.
Most "Opposite of December..." songs are played live a bit slower than they appear on this album. This is due to the fact that because of time constraints in making the record, the songs were recorded in a hurry and were recorded too fast. The speed in which the songs are played live is what was intended for song originally.
