** The 2005 remasters of the band's catalog were released in the US on [=DualDisc=], an experimental hybrid format that consisted of a UsefulNotes/CompactDisc layer on one side and a UsefulNotes/{{DVD}} layer on the other. While ambitious, the format was known for being incompatible with a number of CD players thanks to the CD side being thinner than a standard CD. The international releases of the remasters, meanwhile, split the two sides across a regular CD and a regular DVD, thus alleviating the compatibility issues.

* BuryYourArt: The band swiftly cast [[TheBandMinusTheFace the Byrne-free reunion album]] ''No Talking, Just Head'' into CanonDiscontinuity after its critical and commercial failure, and refused to re-release or even discuss it for three decades. It would eventually surface on streaming services in 2018 and see a CD reissue in Europe in 2020. In an interview promoting his 2020 memoir ''Remain in Love'', drummer Chris Frantz stated that the album's making is still a raw wound for the band members, to the extent where the book deliberately omits it.
