This is from an official promotional CD that features interview responses by each band member, as well as several station liners by each band member to be used by radio stations. The interview questions are not recorded on the CD, rather only written in the liner notes. I have transcribed all the questions and featured them as the track listing. A last minute idea of mine was to use a text-to-speech program to have an audible representation of the questions, therefore making the interviews easier to listen to. The first track is a somewhat longer program that features a host retroactively playing a small handful of the interview responses, focusing largely on premiering Show Don't Tell, Presto, Chain Lightning, and The Pass. These four studio tracks have been cut from this video for copyright and simplicity purposes.
