so the 3 albums work sort of like a combo lock.
so each cd's track list is in the same order
you just start the cds track lists at different places
you line up the singles on all 3 cds with one another
each cd has 3 singles
the singles line up like this 2 of the 3 singles on the first cd line up with 2 on the second cd
2 on the second cd line up with 2 on the 3rd cd
2 on the 3rd cd line up with 2 on the 1st cd
but you also have to factor in the song BY AND DOWN
its not that hard to figure out where to put BY AND DOWN you put it at the end of THIRTEENTH STEP's track list
APC gives you a huge hint in the albums title all the cd's have 12 songs on them and THIRTEENTH STEP's title has a 13 in it
now when you ad in BY AND DOWN to the track list it pushes one of the songs out of the 3X12 grid (3 albums X 12 songs) and if you take a look at the song names youll realize that song has to be THE OUTSIDER
so using those as the guidelines you will get wind up with an image a grid that looks like THIS!
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/20...am-d8aj9fi.png
to read that grid you read it by the columns and when you are putting the songs in order pay attention to where track 7 (the outsider) on thirteenth step and track 5 (passive) on emotive are
because those 2 songs have to go together
also track 1 (the hollow) on mer de noms and track 10(counting bodies like sheep) on emotive have to go together
which means you either have to read it like this
in the first column on the LEFT you start at the bottom then move to the top (emotive thirteenth step merdenoms) the songs would come out as 5 8 9 for the first column
then move to the next row to the RIGHT start at the bottom again and move your way to the top the next 3 songs would be 6 9 10
and the next 3 would be 7 10 11 then 8 11 12 and so on
continue this until you reach the end of the grid
and the song will be in this order
5 PASSIVE
8 CRIMES
9 RENHOLDER
6 GIMME GIMME GIMME
9 THE NURSE WHO LOVED ME
10 THINKING OF YOU
7 PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE
10 PET
11 BRENA
8 FREEDOM OF CHOICE
11 LULLABY
12 OVER
9 LET'S HAVE A WAR
12 GRAVITY
1 THE HOLLOW
10 COUNTING BODIES LIKE SHEEP
13 BY AND DOWN
2 MAGDALENA
11 WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS
1 THE PACKAGE
3 ROSE
12 FIDDLE AND THE DRUM
2 WEAK AND POWERLESS
4 JUDITH
1 ANNIHILATION
3 THE NOOSE
5 ORESTES
2 IMAGINE
4 BLUE
6 3 LIBRAS
3 PEACE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
5 VANISHING
7 SLEEPING BEAUTY
4 WHATS GOING ON
6 A STRANGER
8 THOMAS
7 THE OUTSIDER
the other way to do the grid is by going from the right of the grid and doing the exact opposite so you go RIGHT TO LEFT and UP TO DOWN which gives you this track list (which is the same track list as above but its just flipped)
7 THE OUTSIDER
8 THOMAS
6 A STRANGER
4 WHAT'S GOING ON
7 sleeping beauty
5 vanishing
3 peace love and understanding
6 3 libras
4 blue
2 imagine
5 orestes
3 the noose
1 annihilation
4 judith
2 weak and powerless
12 fiddle and the drum
3 rose
1 the package
11 when the levee breaks
2 magdalena
13 BY AND DOWN
10 COUNTING BODIES LIKE SHEEP
1 THE HOLLOW
12 GRAVITY
9 LETS HAVE A WAR
12 OVER
11 LULLABY
8 FREDOM OF CHOICE
11 BRENA
10 PET
7 PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE
10 THINKING OF YOU
9 THE NURSE WHO LOVED ME
6 GIMME GIMME GIMME
9 RENHOLDER
8 CRIMES
5 PASSIVE
im fairly sure though its the first track list and it starts at THE HOLLOW and ends with GRAVITY
so there you go!
