Notes & Trivia
- The music video for "When Love and Death Embrace" is the shorter cut of the video. The longer version can only be found on The Video Collection 1997-2003.
- The packaging mentions that the video for "Gone With the Sin" is the German version. This is wrong, it is in fact the Finnish cut of the video.
