Release
The album was released in a digipack in Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom (U.K.). The Australian and UK versions contain a cover version of the X song "Los Angeles," while the Japanese CD, released on Sonic Label, featured four additional songs, including the X cover version. The X song was later released in the U.S. on the limited edition Tarantulas Records vinyl release, sold under license from the White Drugs label. The song "False Alarm" is featured as an on-disc playable song in the 2010 video game Rock Band 3, and the song "Notice of Eviction" is featured in the soundtrack for the 2004 video-game Need for Speed: Underground 2.

Why this record matters

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7720291. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2003, 2010, 2004 and 1000.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account.
