Backspacer Track Listing Error

edited September 2009 in The Porch
I just put my copy of Backspacer into my Xbox 360 to listen to it, and I came across something rather odd. The names of the tracks were all wrong, but not in some random way. The tracks were all named, in order, the same as the tracks from Pearl Jam's self titled album. There are 11 tracks on that album, as well as Backspacer, so everything lined up perfectly. I haven't heard of anyone else seeing this, and wonder if there was just something up with my XBox, my disc, etc. Has anyone else experienced this/has an explination why I experienced this?

    Same as my 360, but there are more than 11 songs on S/T. The End is Army Reserve. Last song on S/T is Inside Job. My pc has the right tracklist though.

    You may want to read the Easter Egg thread.
    Seems some of us can hear 12 tracks and some details from others there.

    Same happened to me on both of my laptops and my newer laptop has never seen the S/T album.. my only thought was Media Player had not updated their info yet (while itunes have since they are selling the album) and when trying to identify the new album could only find the S/T album info.. i could be talking nonsense

    Alright, so it seems that it's because we all recieved the album early and the systems we use haven't gotten the new album's track listing yet. I did make the mistake in assuming there were only 11 tracks on S/T, there are 13 as someone said. That still leaves me to wonder why my xbox, which seems to get all of its track information from the disc it's reading, listed the songs with titles from the S/T

    I've had the same issue with my PC and Zune application. I think it could be because the CDDB that stores track listings and artwork won't have the information until the official release which is tomorrow.

    iTunes has it because they are the exclusive pre sale please I suspect.

    For those of you using Media Player you should download the Zune application. It is super cool, was just upgraded, and is free. Way better than media player IMO

    I had this problem too.

    Put "Backspacer" in my laptop, and got the track listing and song lengths from Self-Titled. This was problematic, as WMP basically alternated between the two albums, playing "Gonna See My Friend," then "Life Wasted," etc.

    iTunes also had the listing from S/T.

    The song length would have differentiated the two albums, had they at least been accurate.

    Took the disc out, tried it again, all is well with the world.

    You need to have a sense of humor for this one... Really think it through. What comes to mind immediately it terms of it being a "mistake" may not be the wrong mental avenue. It works perfectly within iTunes and on Macs.. Think further and let me know when the smile hits your face. Bravo Guys, Bravo.
