Many online sources, particularly databases such as Allmusic , list "Serenity Touched" as one song, as well as "Eternal Odyssey Returning". This is due to the formatting of the track list on the CD case back insert, which causes visual ambiguity (the band's MP3.com page also had tracks listed under the incorrect names).

The contents of disc 2 vary with region: this information is for the most common North American release.

  1. "Stopwatch Hearts" (Leeb, Emily Haines, Muhoberac, Rizzo) – 4:09
  2. "After All" (Andrew Sega Remix) – 7:25

The "Andrew Sega Remix" of "After All" was the winner of an amateur remix contest held by Nettwerk prior to the album's release.
