Difference Between Versions
The Eclipse Records version contains a hidden prank call at the end of "Bwomp" extended mix. It was originally due to appear on the Universal Records release, but because of a law suit filed by Eclipse for the way Mushroomhead left the label, it was omitted from the album. The band said that the only reason they originally included the prank call was because the man that made it included Mushroomhead in the conversation, as he was said to have been a big fan of the band.
The Eclipse Records release included an instrumental track titled "Epiphany" as well as a bonus hidden track, which is the same prank phone call skit that concludes M3. The Universal Records release included the additional tracks "Fear Held Dear," "Too Much Nothing" and a cover of Pink Floyd’s "Empty Spaces". The version of "Empty Spaces" is placed directly in front of "Born of Desire" on the track listing to duplicate Mushroomhead's live version that would allow "Empty Spaces" as a sort of introduction to begin "Born of Desire".
The Eclipse version has all of the tracks re-recorded from their original albums. The Universal versions of the songs are re-mixed and in some cases certain parts are re-recorded from the versions on the Eclipse release. So the songs on both albums are different versions of each other, and of the original versions on previous releases.
There is a change in members shown in the booklets for the two versions. The Eclipse edition lists J.J. Righteous on guitar and Bronson as samples below a picture of the band. The alternative mixed version available from Universal has a different inside picture listing Bronson on guitar and the introduction of St1tch on samples. Because of the masked conformed nature of the members, Righteous is still on the cover of both versions. Part of the reason XX was re-mixed/re-recorded was so that St1tch could appear on the recordings, and Bronson could do some guitar work.

Famous quotes containing the words difference between, difference and/or versions:
“Time isn’t so important.... We can say that time is behind us, that we’ve had years together.... I can tell you about a thousand wonderful hours we’ve spent together because I feel we would have, inevitably. And there’s not that much difference between the future and the past.”
—Kurt Neumann (1906–1958)
“It don’t make no difference whether you do right or wrong, a person’s conscience ain’t got no sense, and just goes for him anyway. If I had a yaller dog that didn’t know no more than a person’s conscience does, I would pison him.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
