- identity · disputed: Release date: MusicBrainz gives 2004-11-30 for this barcode (^mb), Wikipedia says the US version came out on 7 December 2004 (^wiki-film) and Apple Music dates the digital album 15 November 2004 (^apple); only the year is recorded.
- media · disputed: Track 13 lasts 2:02 per MusicBrainz and 2:01 per Wikipedia but 1:29 per Discogs; the MusicBrainz value is used. Other durations follow Discogs and differ from MusicBrainz by a second at most. runtime_min is the sum of the recorded durations.
- relationships · unknown: No source read gives the ℗/© line, distributor or pressing plant of the US CD. The European CD (barcode 5099709356124, made in Austria) prints ℗ and © 2004 Sony BMG Music Entertainment and names it as distributor; not carried over to this pressing.
- identity · unknown: Discogs lists a US BMG Direct club edition with the same catalogue number but no barcode (^discogs-club); an eBay listing found by web search titles a "Club Version" with barcode 827969356128, not readable from the server. Whether the club edition shares this barcode is unconfirmed.
