Notes: This CD presents all of the original Indecision demos, newly remastered and as listenable as they're ever going to be, complete with bonus tracks from the original sessions. Repent or Die is remastered from the original master tape, speed-corrected to match a rough mix made on the studio deck the last night of overdubs. 8 Ball Not Included was re-transferred fresh from the original session tapes. The Best of What We Know was remixed once again, this time referencing the original mix tapes in an attempt to get a cleaner version, without changing the sound too much.
