Notes

  • Because the official translation of "40:1" song from the former album was criticised by Polish fans, a contest was set for the best translation of the "Uprising" lyrics to Polish. The winning translation was chosen as the official [13]
  • The video for "Uprising" is a re-enactment of Polish resistance during WWII and contains actor Peter Stormare as well as Polish actors Monika Buchowiec and Mateusz Damięcki.[15]
