Public reception

Immersion was well received by the public. On Rate Your Music the album has an average rating of 3.01 out of 5, based on more than 1,000 ratings, and on Sputnikmusic the album has a "great" average rating of 3.5 out of 5, based on more than 650 ratings.

Track listing

All tracks written by Rob Swire, except where noted.

B-side

The track "Ransom" was originally included in the album but it was later dropped as it "didn't fit the sound of the album". The band later stated that "Ransom will be either released as a free download to fans or a B-side but it will definitely see the light of day". Rob Swire later stated that "Ransom" won't be released because he found the song to be "boring" after the intro, however that most of the project files for the song were corrupted when his MacBook hard drive malfunctioned. However, on 6 April 2011, "Ransom" was released as a download only single on the group's website in aid of Japan's earthquake appeal, and entered the UK Singles Chart at no. 193 the following week.
