Not to brag or anything, but I bought it. Still need to waatch the DVD, but most of the remixes were pretty cool.

Mmhmm. It was streaming on Purevolume, but it looks like it was taken down. There was only one that I just didn't like... I think it was Self Starter.

And Innocent was about as boring as the original, lol.



Have you heard IJSW, Toxin? It was one of the unreleased songs. I thought it was pretty good.

i try to chime in with a post every now and then when it's on my "my discussions" tab !



it's just then no one else is online or whatever :[



btw have you listened to devotion? well you weren't as big of a fan of vital iirc but a lot of the additional tracks on devotion are pretty great

yeah exactly, it's like "vital+". the studio versions of the vital songs are the same so i guess you'll still have that issue with the production. but it has 4 b-sides + 3 original tracks.



5 of those tracks are among the top 8 tracks in all of devotion imo so it's a definite improvement, but i also have a preference towards their mid-tempo stuff which almost all of the additions are.

The added tracks are placed sensibly too.

this is proof we need a six out of 5 rating because Vital was already a 5

Yeah, I liked that they switched up the track listing instead of just throwing them all at the end.

agreed storm.



i'd say this is undeniably better than vital except maybe for the length (but when almost every song is top notch then length isn't as big a problem) so it has to be at least a 4.5 for me. but at the same time not really sure it hit me enough to be a 5? ugh decisions
