** The instrumental of "Glory Box" cuts out at 4:13 and is briefly replaced with a dark, slow drumbeat. One track on the ''Glory Box'' single, "Scorn", reverses the situation: it has said drumbeat as the main instrumental, maintaining Glory Box's vocal track, and briefly uses Glory Box's instrumental at the equivalent point in the song.
