[edit] Notes

  • The songs I'm Not Going To Bed, Pushing Drugs, Into the Clear, and The Background leaked onto the internet via Japanese radio 2 weeks prior to the release of the album. The song You Will Remember Tonight has been around since 2005, on Andrews Website, then the Masters of Horror soundtrack. The song One Brother had been leaked onto the internet in February 2006 stemming from an unknown source.
  • A Japanese promotional video for Not Going To Bed has been made.
  • The Japanese release is also available with a bonus all-region DVD.
  • The Korean release contains an extra page of strange and cryptic photos, as well as 4 bonus tracks, and no lyrics to any of the songs. The Japanese release contains lyrics for all of the songs.
  • On February 1, 2007, andrewwk.com announced that Close Calls would be released in America on vinyl-only in a very limited fashion on June 19, 2007. The release date was later moved to August 18 2007. The record is a double LP gatefold, blue and orange (disc one and two respectively) vinyl release, with complete lyrics, and 5 new songs.
