That bastard!
So the album is simply great. Epic. Huge sound. Everything I've come to expect and hope for. So good that I went against my judgement and bought three versions. It was my mistake to buy the Amazon version because the iTunes version was virtually the same but with one additional track. So my bad. So I ended up getting the best buy and iTunes versions as well. So over $30 on this. ARGH!
The bonus songs are ok, but don't fit all that well into the rest of the album. Maybe I'll feel differently after a few more listens. The Bug seems to fit the most, musically.
Anyway - do yourself a favor and spend time with this release. It's really great. Besides a stellar sound, it's thought provoking as are most Springfield releases. Tortured souls make great music, eh?
I am also liking the new album by The Script and of course the new Melissa Etheridge.
