Unreleased songs
Before the release of Karma And Effect, a blog from the band on their website stated that there would be three b-side tracks for the album. They are: "Let Me Go", "Innocence", and "Blister". "Let Me Go" has been released and can be found on the "Remedy" single. "Innocence" and "Blister" were never mixed or mastered, but both songs, likely obtained off the album's demo tapes, were made available on a fan site for a short time.
