В вышеобозначенном релизе
https://rutr.life/forum/viewtopic.php?t=356721 тоже имеется такая пауза из 8 треков. Я ничего не делал с данным рипом. И в TAU они проходят как 21 трек. Из них с 13 по 20-й - пустые. Не знаю для каких целей это было сделано. Мне что удалить пустые треки?

Track listing[edit]
All songs written by Isaac Hanson, Taylor Hanson and Zachary Hanson; additional writers in parentheses.
"Thinking of You"
"MMMBop"
"Weird" (Desmond Child)
"Speechless" (Stephen Lironi)
"Where's the Love" (Mark Hudson, Sander Salover)
"Yearbook" (Ellen Shipley)
"Look at You" (Stephen Lironi)
"Lucy" (Mark Hudson)
"I Will Come to You" (Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil)
"A Minute Without You" (Mark Hudson)
"Madeline" (Cliff Magness)
"With You in Your Dreams"
"Man from Milwaukee" [CD-only hidden track]
Note: "Man from Milwaukee" is actually track #21, as there are eight tracks of silence after "With You in Your Dreams". In Japan the song is track 14 because a live version of "MMMBop" serves as song 13. "Man from Milwaukee" was omitted from all cassettes and vinyl pressings of Middle of Nowhere. Some later reissues of the album omitted the tracks of silence and make "Man from Milwaukee" a true track 13.
