[edit] Miscellanea

• The track "All of Our Love" is not featured on the Argentinian version of the album or certain imported copies.
• The album title originates from a lyric in Time Travel, the hidden track on the band's debut album: "Well there's a war going on, ain't the obvious one. It's between magic and medicine".
