Notes

A ^ ^ Despite being extended plays as opposed to singles, People and Water Curses charted on Billboard singles charts, rather than albums charts.
B ^ Transverse Temporal Gyrus is a record featuring music created individually by all four members of the band and made into a sound collage in two parts. It was released as a part of Record Store Day and was limited to 5,000 copies.^[29]
