Second Generation was the third track to appear on the 12" vinyl version of the single "The Deceiver" from the album "Declaration".
Majority was originally recorded to be released on the album "Strength", but was dropped to a b-side to the single "Strength" from the same album.
Elders & Folklore started off as a name only to go on the 12" vinyl version of the single "Rescue Me". Once the band wrote the lyrics and recorded the song, they released how good it was and tried to get it pulled from production, but it was too late.
