According to the internal data which Bandcamp makes available in any JavaScript console (`TralbumData.current.publish_date`), the album was actually first published twenty days earlier: 12/03/2010. + + Tracks across this album have custom release dates, which are visible on the track pages on Bandcamp, and reflected here, too. There are some asterisks: see [[track:istojabego]], [[track:cforenso-ii]], [[track:cforenso-iii]]. Also, the final track, [[track:vejisto]], has a notable publish_date, 12/23/2010 - the same as the album's custom release date. (The track is also custom release dated 12/23/2010, and its written lyrics are expressly set on that particular date.) + + All together, this suggests that the album initially had only twelve of its thirteen (main) tracks, and [[track:cforenso-ii]] and [[track:cforenso-iii]] were at the end of the album, the same as bonus tracks typically are. But the tracks still don't self-describe as "bonus tracks", so we're still describing them as just "hidden tracks" here. It's also possible that the album really was published on 12/23/2010 and Bandcamp's internal wires work some way we're not aware, hypothetically e.g. publish_date always recording the earliest publish date, even though an album was un- and later re-published.
