Album release details

Extended Copy Protection

In November 2005, it was revealed that the US CD contained Extended Copy Protection (XCP), a controversial feature that automatically installed rootkit software on any Microsoft Windows machine upon insertion of the disc. The CD was withdrawn and a new version without XCP was issued on November 22, 2005.

UK LP

Another product-related problem for the band was the mis-pressing of the UK vinyl album, which lists on both the label and sleeve the same tracklisting as the UK CD, but in fact plays the tracklisting of the US version. The LP was re-pressed and distributed with the same catalogue number. The original issue has a blue starburst sticker on the cover, and the reissue does not.

Miscellanea

*"Riot Radio" is featured on the soundtrack of the video game "Burnout Revenge".
*The office building on the album cover is Concourse House, which currently stands next to Liverpool Lime Street railway station. It has been proposed for demolition as part of plans to regenerate the area around the station.
