Song notes

• "I Did It" was the first single from the album, followed by "The Space Between."
• "Everyday" is a reworked version of the earlier DMB song "#36," which had previously appeared on such live albums as Live at Red Rocks and Listener Supported. When played live, "Everyday" often features some old "#36" lyrics.
• "Dreams of Our Fathers" is the only song released on a studio album that has never been played live in concert by the band, though it does contain elements of "Little Thing" which has been played live several times.
• "When the World Ends" was remixed by Paul Oakenfold and used on The Matrix Reloaded: The Album (2003). The song also has a measure of notoriety, as it was in line to be the third single for the album until the September 11, 2001 attacks caused the band to reconsider, due to its title.^{[citation needed]}
• "Christmas Song" was recorded for the Platinum Christmas album during these sessions.
