Notes

"Gas Station" also appears on the Methodist Leisure Inc. freebie funcore compilation Short Attention Span along with an unreleased live recording of the same track. (2009, Methodist Leisure Inc.)

There is much confusion over the track listing because of the way the sleeve is printed, including listings on Spotify. The last eight songs on the album are live recordings.
