a solid heads up to you, the consumer

Review Score: (8/10)
the music here gets 4 big fat stars, the problem is... this is a remaster, a re-tweaking, a "hey, we almost got it down". a disc hold nearly 80 minutes so why, why, why shorten the songs? the word "re-mixed" is tagged onto several cuts here and in every case it only means we hacked out a bridge, an intro, an ending, or all three. un-acceptable. my other ... collector geek thang) beef with this thing is the tray numbering. each re-master has a big number under the tray, this being number nine.
that means passion is eight and us is ten, do you know how annoying that is to collector nerds like myself? pretty DOG-GONE annoying.
