I just got my digipack version and at the end of Solar Winds Ziltoid says "Fooey......and double fooey" instead of "Fooey, indeed, fooey"

Such a subtle thing to change, I wonder why he changed it. I'm going to listen to both back to back now and see if anything else was changed like that.

Maybe things like this, and also the typo of "Polyphony" as "Plyophony" on TNB are intentional, to see who downloaded it and who didn't.

Damn, I already deleted my leak download. Oh well, thisll still be pretty interesting to read about.

I do remember that one youre talking about though.

Similar to the Plyophony thing - When I put the disc in my iTunes a completely wrong tracklist came up. 'Omnidimensional Creator' was 'Omnisdimensional Creator' and 'Ziltoidia Attaxx!!!' was 'Ziltoid Attaxx!' Ziltoid was the artist instead of Devin Townsend. The album was just "The Omniscient" instead of "Ziltoid the Omniscient". The three bonus tracks all had the wrong name on them (Don't Know Why was Tall Latte, Travelling Salesman was Don't Know Why, and the Canada demo was Travelling Salesman), and then there was one or two capital letter mistakes as well..

That's iTunes for you.

All the retagging I did, and I missed one.

I only noticed the artist/album thing. Blah. Time to rename some songs >.<

when I play mine its all pops and buzzers.. wonder if thats on purpose? weird

It's not JUST the leaked version that contains the "Indeed, phooey" version, it's also the iTunes version. The difference was immediately noticeable once I went into town on the release date and got me the special edition.

that warrants a serious five'r...

I don't think the version I got had that. Of course, it's gone now. Just got the digipack today.

EDIT: I stand corrected. The "and double" sounded different.

I said something to this very effect on that page....It's weird...but I love this cd more than I love beer...and that is a lot.

I also love the refences to hockey he makes throughout the album.. coffee = senators.. haha

The mistagging is not caused by iTunes (or any music player) or done by Devin himself. When you put the disk in your computer, it reads the tracklist from a CDDB website, most likely http://www.freedb.org. Whoever submitted the info to that website first made the mistake and can be blamed, and no-one else. Both for Omnisdimensional and Plyophony.

And it's not really a surprise that the leak is different from the final release is it? He did the same for Alien, where there were differences in Love?, We Ride and a renamed track.
