I used to make fun of Prince for putting hidden tracks on albums, as by the time he got around to it in 1998, it was an old fad. Like someone else said, it's a pain to skip to the song you want. Yes, I can extract the track, and do whatever I want, but it's a lame stupid idea. I guess I should be glad we got Invisible, but it's still stupid to be lame enough to think you've got some groundbreaking idea...it's been done. It's like coming up with a Zombie or Vampire story...old news.

Who said it was groundbreaking? You care about this way too much.

It's a bonus CD for crying out loud. I still think it's a nice touch regardless.

This way you can't liston to invisible without listening too Sleep Baby.

With iTunes you actually can: I made a copy, renamed it Invisible, and gave the command to always start 1'' before Invisible begins.
I've actually done worse: I've replaced California with Invisible, and the result is stunning. And I've added the two new songs between Cedarwood Road and Sleep like a baby.
The album is now a really bomb. It is simply awesome.
In short: Invisible's a great track; California sucks.
So yeah, I gave up after 5 weeks or so -- but I'm skipping just one song, and we've got 3 better songs to replace it with. So still very well done, boys
Yeah, the album is really good when replacing and modifying some small things. They've done great. I still stand by my alternate tracklist though, keeping California but in its acoustic form.
