^^ I have to admit to some cynicism about this...trying to cash in on a decidedly average album... sorry, not impressed...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Almost certainly, but I dont have Ghost Opera yet (probably a good idea to get it before we go to see them as GH will make up the bulk of the set list) and I do like the idea of having a (largely) live disc with it. Certainly a better deal than the two radio edits that came with the digi pack version of The Black Halo.

^^oh, by all means get it if you haven't got the album...I just think it is a rather cynical marketing ploy to milk what is a decidely mediocre album for all it is worth.  This phenomenon is becoming increasingly common, and is largely down to the record companies...

I guess it's not bad if you don't have the album, but this seems to be a worthless buy for owners.
