Song Info

★ "Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums" was originally perceived to be a remix of the song "Pet" from ''Thirteenth Step''. Maynard James Keenan spoke about this song on ''aMOTION'' and insists that it is not a remix, but rather a second part of "Pet", even though they have the same lyrics.

★ The track "Passive" is a remake of "Vacant", a song created by Keenan, Lohner, Trent Reznor, ''et al.'' for the Tapeworm project which never saw the light of day.
