*Of all the songs however, it appears that “Just Apathy” went through the most changes, as the Atlantic release is entirely different. The brief violin intro from the original is absent and the song starts off with the lyrics instead. Some small instrumental breaks were also omitted for the sake of moving through the beginning more quickly. The piano chords are slightly different, there are missing violin and cello tracks, the guitar solo does not continue to the chorus but instead is present during the bridge, and the short break after the first verse is missing.<ref name=thepineappletomorrow></ref>

*A noticeable change for “Two Wuv” is that when the words “you dressed up like a bee” are sung, there is a faint buzzing sound to emphasize the joke in the wording. For whatever reason, this was removed from the ’08 release (perhaps considered too silly or obvious). The drums are also considered to be louder throughout.<ref name=thepineappletomorrow></ref>

*“The Ruler of Everything” (along with its intro “13”) is, at the beginning, slightly lower in pitch than the older release. The lowering of pitch was caused by slightly slowing the song, according to Joe Hawley.  The change was made, possibly to create a more ominous initial impression of the song. The silence and ambient wave sounds at the end are also extended, so that there is a longer wait time before “Hidden in the Sand” starts playing.

Additionally, the choruses sound far more robotic in the 2008 version, while the 2005 version features mostly unaltered voices.
