Track 12 - Collecting Specimens is titled "Home for the Hemorrhage" on the embedded cd-text. What gives? Do I win a prize? :)
Sorry, I don\'t know. I had nothing to do with the production of this one. I would guess that that was the file name and it was overlooked for the mastering and changed for the jacket printing.
Thinking about this reminds of an email question I get a lot. It may be applicable here. There are two kinds of CD text. There is imbedded CD text thats actually encoded onto the CD. Not all discs have this. Its really only useful on some CD players that support CD text and it displays in the CD window. Mostly what people see when they refer to CD text is the CDDB, an online database that if you put your CD in your computer is what you see. This information is not on the CD. The application you use for playing a CD like iTunes takes the number of tracks the time of each track and looks for a match on the database then displays that in the track window. Before I release a CD I put the master in iTunes and upload the track names to the CDDB. When you put your CD in your computer it matches it to my uploaded data. If nobody has uploaded the data the CDDB will either display nothing or some completely unrelated disc that probably has the same number of track and times ( or close enough). Sometimes people take a track that was released as an mp3 name it in itunes and upload that info the the CDDB. When you put your CD with that same track on it in your computer, that name displays. I think thats what we are seeing here and it may take quite some time before the database is corrected.
I just wanted to mention this because I get emails from people telling me there is a mistake on the CD when really the error is with the CDDB.

LOL! I just explained that over on .tk. It is the embedded cd-text encoded on the disc that has a different name, not the CDDB info (though that could be wrong too, I haven\'t popped it in the old comp yet). I just happened to notice it in my car today. That\'s cool that you upload to the CDDB yourself. I\'ve done it a few times.
