Notes

There is a hidden track, known as "House of Leaves", located at exactly 8:56, after the silence that follows "Meet Me in Montauk". After 'Juturna' leaked in late March 2005, fans on the Circa Survive Message Board (Circa Board) inquired about the title of the song. Guitarist Brendan Ekstrom responded, " 'Paranoid Flu' or 'House of Leaves' or 'I completely forget what we called it.' or 'Blues'." Fans on the Circa Board took to calling it "House of Leaves" and it stuck world wide. It is a reference to House of Leaves, a book by Mark Z. Danielewski. The song is said to be in the perspective of the main character in the novel, Johnny Truant.

The song "Stop the Fuckin' Car" had its name censored to "Stop the Car" on the track listing on the back of the CD case. However, it is listed as "Stop the Fuckin' Car" on the booklet inside the case.

"Suspending Disbelief", from The Inuit Sessions, was originally intended to be on Juturna. It segues perfectly in between tracks 9 & 10. It was restored on the 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.

Cultural references
gollark: That might technically be the case, but it is not intended as one.
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.

gollark: No, those are twisted-pair.
