The album was originally mixed in its entirety by David Bottrill, but Dream Theater requested a remix by Kevin Shirley. Shirley, however, wasn't able to remix the whole album on time for its planned release, due to scheduling conflicts, so four tracks appeared in the released album as mixed by Bottrill.
