The main difference between Being Ridden and
BR Instrumentals , except for theduct tape covering Kidwell's mouth, is the track listing. Every track from Being Ridden is featured on BR Instrumentals except Stamina, Outher Countries and Nevermind. These tracks only appear on Being Ridden and are replaced by My Hands Switched With Mannequin Hands, Bad Girls and M Ren Dvine. It is also interesting to note that the three songs are on track 7, 10 and 13 on both albums.External links
