At least a little pride perhaps, maybe a creative track listing? Oh, and a "deluxe" edition featuring B-sides or previously unreleased material so older fans would have a reason to care.

@Acanthus: Look further down the page, there's a deluxe edition too. The second disc has some unreleased tracks and live and acoustic tracks.



That really is a lazy tracklist though, just putting every single in order. They should've mixed them up some.

That might be true, it just was so little of an offering that I must have glanced over it :/

Track-listing may be "lazy", but if its intention is to introduce people to the band & therefore win over new fans, then it's pretty close to the correct one. If its intention is to give something a little different to loyal fans, then its not correct. The fact that there is a 2nd disc, means that Disc-1 is going for the 1st objective.

I just don't think that would sound good as an album. They should take a lesson from how Foo Fighters did their greatest hits, that was an excellent collection and flowed well as an album.



The second disc might be decent, I've heard a couple of those bonus tracks already though. Ordinary Man is decent and Lady Bug is awful (it was already on the So Cold EP).

I actually really liked both Ordinary Man & Ladybug, but can understand why especially the latter may annoy.

Ordinary Man was pretty good, I just haven't heard it in quite a while. I'll be sure to give a listen to that second disc when I can.



Davey, that's fine, but pleeeeeease tell me you don't like the new version of Blow Me Away.

You guys have put me off listening to it. Ok, here goes nothing...



Nah... Like someone said previously: It's not a bad idea in theory, but it just doesn't work. It's difficult to tell if it wouldn't work no matter who the female vocalist is, or if this unknown (to me) singer just doesn't cut it.

haha, my rating for this has changed quite drastically. Probably just from overplaying though. It was great when it first came out

something i didn't get: why does 'water' come after the DA's songs in the standart version? considering the method used before, that seems totally outta place.



here's two of the songs i thought i would come with the 'rarities':

Yap, I remember looking hard for them when I heard that 'So Cold' was originated from two other songs.

Thought they would be part of the album, but.

Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure those acoustic live 'Had Enough', 'Breath' and 'Until The End' are taken

from a little five-song live performance they gave at the River St. Jazz Caffe, just before releasing

Dear Agony.

Yeah, I'm slow at times (and portuguese by the way), so what did you exactly mean with the last expression?

I've seen that before. Definitely one of Ben's better live performances.
