The band was not sure how to release so much material, initially opposing suggestions of a double album citing both cost and a potential overload of too much music. They indicated a likely plan to release a normal-length album and to save other songs for future shorter EP releases. The band, however, ultimately settled on a 13-track physical album, with a second physical album entitled "Barenaked Ladies Are Men". The latter album was originally pre-released exclusively in Canadian Starbucks locations on October 3, 2006. This version of "Are Men" contained 12 of the remaining tracks, plus "Are Me"'s two singles. The four songs not included on either of those releases were deemed as digital-download "bonus tracks" and it was implied that they were not going to be made available physically. This was consistent with the "Deluxe Edition" of the "Are Me" album, which compiled the 25 tracks into a two-disc package that excluded the "bonus tracks". However, when "Are Men" officially received widespread release on February 6, 2007, it contained all 16 tracks not on "Are Me", including the "bonus tracks"; this track list was not announced until shortly before "Are Men"'s release.
